'I would just like to say that I really enjoyed the course the content was excellent for what I needed as I work part time in an accounts role and have very little training in this area but the course gave me the confidence and assurances that I was doing the job correctly, Sandra was very helpful and friendly and excellent tutor I would definitely recommend this course'. Thelma Gabbett

'Not having a 'great head for figures' I have to say I enjoyed the Book-keeping course much more than I had anticipated!!  That's thanks to Sandra's patience and the small class size where we benefitted from individual attention in a class setting.  Sandra explained things in a very easy plain manner and one night a week I think was fine to give time to digest and practice what we learned from week to week'. Irene Doyle
