Great group of professionals and really clear outline for the course. The pace you learn at is your own which sits well with work commitments. Susan Bowman

I've found it to be easy to navigate and use, I personally haven't needed much help throughout my course but from what I have seen through the Ulleo lives, the mentors are really nice and helpful.
