Course testimonials

paul said: I enjoyed the challenge of learning a new language and understanding words and phrases that were previously a mystery. The tutor was very patient, engaging and non-judgmental. Having tried some previous language courses with the college I thought the experience from doing it from home was an advantage particularly when i was working rather than having to travel into the city. It would also make it available much more widely for out of towners. Obviously this would not work for all courses but for language courses I hope that the College continues to offer an online option post COVID.
