Excellent overall experience. All the people I had contact with in one way or another were so kind and generous to attend to my needs - the tutors, admin/enquiries unit, technical support, etc.
I could not recommend AOLL enough for the help they provided when studying with them! I now have a place at university on a very competitive course due to completing this course!
