What do our students say?

Julie Nettleford - Liverpool

"The support I received from my tutor was fantastic. It's great to get help over the phone or by email instead of having to go into a college building everyday; that would have been a struggle as I was employed full-time. I'd simply email a question to her, and I'd have a reply for when I got back home from work - problem solved."

Mandy, Peterborough

"My tutor was fantastic!"

Maggie Pilsbury, Birmingham

"The tutor support is invaluable."

Warren Jackson, Crewe

"The tutor support I received was very good, and I would constantly exchange emails which would help me improve the structure of my assignments."

Sara Hill, Birmingham

"It was great to call my tutor when I wanted a bit of advice, she was really cool and she's told me all about the nail course - I think I might try that one out, sounds great!"

Sandra Restall, Hull

"With the help of my tutor I could get through my course and keep my full-time job."

Harshida Khan, Leicester

"I really needed the advice of my course tutor (she was great! Thanks Sarah!)."

Amanda O'Brien, Leicester

"There were a couple of things that were difficult for me to get my head round but when that happened I would give my tutor a ring and she'd explain it properly."

Jill Harris, Liverpool

"I found the tutor support invaluable."

Adrian Knowles, London

"I received the support I needed from my tutor... If I needed to ask him a question I sent him a quick email and went off to work, by the time I logged on at night I'd usually have quite a detailed response outlining where I'd gone wrong."

Chris Hill, Lichfield

"When there was a subject that I didn't quite get my head around it was easy to pick up the phone and chat to my tutor about it - he knew his stuff!"

Samantha McCarthy, Milton Keynes

"It was great to know I could contact my tutor by email or phone any time I found something that I wasn't clear about."

Pete Jones, Watford

"My progress on this course was kept on track with the support of a terrific tutor who was able to show me where my problems were and how I could address them."
