I am currently taking the Administration Assistant course, I visit the Enfield branch whenever possible as well as studying from home, the coaches are always on hand to support me, when need their support.
The course itself was very long but helpful. My communication with the centre was brilliant over email. However when I called them up, a gentleman was very rude and wasn't listening to what I was saying. ,
