    I will be referring back to the materials, it is extremely interesting as well as informative!

    Thank you so much!!!

    I was already quite proficient in many areas that this course covers as I have worked similar jobs before but felt I could benefit from a qualification. This is a very in depth course that covers all areas of being a personal assistant, even ones that I wouldn’t have ever considered needing to learn.

    The in-depth learning has built my confidence to put myself out there and try to get back into this career path. I particularly found the section on faxing to be very useful as it’s something that is done in most offices that I’ve found it difficult to come to grips with in the past.

    I am already eyeing up more courses on the site and will be sure to give them a try soon.

    I personally loved this course because I'm planning my own wedding for 2018 but wanted to know so much more about the topic. I found out so much more than my own personal knowledge and walked away feeling much more confident with small details I would have never even thought about.

    I would recommend this course to anyone planning their wedding, or helping a friend plan their wedding or wanting to start their own wedding planning business - each module is so informative that you don't feel that you haven't learned all that you need to know to hit the floor running.

    There are 24 modules to complete in this course and each module is so helpful and easy to understand, I was not left with one question due to how full of detail and how well presented the module and course is. Definitely give this course a go to broaden your qualifications and knowledge!

    Thank you

    This was a brilliant course that was easy to understand and fits into your lifestyle by being able to access at times that suits you. I needed a refresher course and this ticked all the boxes. One area which I was not aware of was the Employment Allowance Incentive but I now understand this fully. It is also good information on record keeping along with Data Protection. I highly recommend this course and it doesn't have to be expensive to do. The fact that you get a Diploma Certificate at the end only enhances your CV and gives you a sense of satisfaction.

    I started this course so I could learn about payroll as I am interested in hopefully securing future employment within this area.

    The course is brilliant to use. The information available on the individual modules is so easy to read and understand. The activities at the end of the modules refresh what you have just learnt, you can print these also so you are able to make notes for your own personal reference to go back to. You can also log onto your course at home or if your out and about on your phone.

    Overall I would recommend this course and I am so pleased I decided to go for this and will look forward to being able to write this onto my CV.

    Laura Malcom

    I rate this course very highly as this is a very in-depth informative online course that increased my knowledge in Marketing and has given me plenty of useful information to apply to my work.

    It had a good framework of information followed by a worksheet so that you could test the knowledge that you’ve just learned. It provided a great deal of information broken down into easy to digest sections and was good value for money as well.

    I would definitely recommend this course to others and I know that my brother has taken another course using this website also.
