As usual, the materials are really good
As usual, the materials are really good. Even though English is not my first language, I can still understand everything easily. My tutor is always here to help me and she responds very fast, so I don't have to wait to get an answer back. I want to make a career in events and wedding, which is why I am doing the course. I have already recommended this course to a few of my friends that don’t know what to do in their life.
