    Having worked in schools for years and having a recently diagnosed son this course has opened my eyes to the world of Autism. The course is both informative, easy to work through and enables the learner to gain full understanding about all aspects of Autism.

    Through completing this course I have gained employment supporting a child with Autism and I have been able to implement many strategies to assist both my pupil and also my own son.

    I would highly recommend this course if you would like to gain a richer understanding of Autism and would like to study online and at your own pace.

    Before starting this course I had no prior knowledge in floristry. The course not only gave me the tools I needed to get started but also gave me the passion and the confidence to move forward with floristry as a career.

    Through the content I have learned within the course I have been able to not only make, but also sell many of my own designs as well as book a couple of future events.

    This has been a great launching pad for me into a career I am truly enjoying. I highly suggest for anyone who is considering floristry to start with this course.

    This is a good overview with useful hints and tips covering a broad range of administrative activities and the tools to assist in effectively carrying out these activities. Even as a seasoned administrator, I was able to learn new tips and functions within the tools that I was unaware of to make my role more effective.

    I was bought this Nail course as a birthday present and it has really inspired me as I have always had a passion for Nail design.

    This course was well structured, clear, and easy to follow. It ran smoothly and I knew exactly how long I was expected to work on each module.

    I learnt all about the business side to the salon as well as physical skills and it was easy to do the exams and get my certificate. I would thoroughly recommend this course or similar ones to other people as it was so flexible and I can now take my new skills straight into the working world.
