Although I have been a manager for some time there are a lot of things which I did not know and only came to know through this course. Everything was useful. This is honestly the best support I have received to help me achieve. The assignments not only helped with my current employment but with also my future goals. Access skills has honestly been the best team of people I have come across in terms of educational support. No matter what circumstances I was going through they were there to support me, and I found this to be the most rewarding course I have ever done as it’s made me come out of it knowing I really can do anything I focus on.
