Testimonials

It has been really refreshing to have so much support from an exam board and before anyone asks, no I am not on commission, just dead impressed and in this game that does not happen very often.

Jon Williams

The Park Community School

I love the qualification (IT User Skills) and how supportive and knowledgeable the staff at TLM are. Our learners struggle with emotional and mental health and the cohort is constantly changing with new students arriving/leaving. The ability to enter students for individual units assist their ability to access qualifications.

Sam Harris

Kettlebrook Short Stay School

The qualification suits our learner groups and gives our learners the necessary skills to progress into further courses or employment.
