I did not enjoy the two courses I signed up for I found the information given was not enough to complete the course. I could not even cancel as the cooling off period ended before I had even started the course so I tried to complete but i feel like I am paying to google for all help I needed, all the modules I completed, I completed from knowledge I already had not due to course content. So I am not paying for two courses I did not complete Medical Reception as the medical program I could not find or download so I had no way to complete, I even asked my local gp reception if they used the computer program, they didn’t, they had not even heard of it and this was a gp that was connected to the hospital sysptem. So I am not happy with the courses and when I complained I couldn’t cancel thesecond course even the course notes were dodgy, I now have to pay for a course I did not complete and am not interested in extending I didn’t even get notification of the course closing. I would not recommend to anyone friend or enemy Zero stars but there is no Zero!

i’m finding the course content to be very interesting and pretty straight forward. I haven’t had much of a chance to deal with the tutors yet, but i’m sure i will soon enough.
