I started my course around 5 months ago – I could have finished it quicker, but I was doing other courses at the same time, so I took my time. The tutor was excellent, providing quick responses and any help when necessary. The content of the course was very thorough, with plenty of information in order to complete the assessments. I found the whole process very easy and straightforward and I received great feedback that helped me gain more confidence. I have enjoyed taking this course and would choose again this school for any future courses.

The feedback that was given for each assignment was helpful. Communication with tutors is very easy and they respond quickly. You are provided will all the learning materials you need to guide you and the whole process of completing the course is very straightforward and easy with the support of the tutors. Highly recommend undertaking this course with Britannia Education

Studying online is difficult and I have done it most of my adult life. This organisation has impressed me with their excellent team who conducted my assessments and delivered customer service. Always friendly and caring. Very organised and turnaround time on assessments and replying to messages is extremely impressive. I will use this company again. I have one area that I struggled with and that is the learning platform is not the easiest to navigate. However due the really good service and response I felt I could deal with the platform. My thanks to the entire support team who assisted me on my learning journey – you are all fabulous
