Our video lessons are easy to follow - here are some client comments...

“I thought the videos were really clear and explained in a way to make sense, and I appreciated the tasks to complete along the way to practice instead of just listening to information. The tutor was great when I had questions. Very pleased with the course.”

“The tutor was very clear in explaining everything and was very encouraging. I really benefited from the exercises. I now feel confident with the basics which was why I applied for this course. I would definitely recommend it.”

 

“I found it useful to contact my course tutor at any time. I felt he was available when I needed support or to answer questions. I thought the video then practise worked well and catered for learners who do not learn just by watching. The course was very well structured and easy to follow.”

 

“Well structured course and easy to follow, with a friendly and approachable tutor that was available whenever help is needed.”

 

“Felt the online videos were excellent and clearly showed the viewer in simple terms how to carry out each task.  All communication was excellent and very prompt reply from tutor.  Would recommend the course to all. Looking forward to doing the intermediate modules as soon as I can.”

 

“What I liked about the course was being able to watch the video of each exercise before starting the exercise and I was also able to go back to the video as many times to make sure that I had understood the video. What I also found helpful was if at any time I encountered a problem I only had to email the course tutor with the problem and he would email back a solution.”
