Testimonials
-
Jane WLevel 3 Award in English for Literacy and Language teaching"I have been impressed with how specific the assessment criteria is which certainly helps in planning assignments for each section. I enjoyed the fact that the assignments were left fairly ‘open’ so I was then able to read around the different topics and shape my responses accordingly. Feedback from my tutor, Judith, was always really quick and very supportive."
