My employer requested it.

How did you find administration and booking procedures?

The entire process was smooth and the premises/location were ideal for me.

How did you enjoy the course?

I found it fast moving and enjoyable; no time to get bored.

Were you wary of doing this subject in such a short time?

Yes, especially as I have no background in finance.

I doubted I could learn the subject and do the exams all in one week.

What was your experience?

I found the tutor very clear, to the point and efficient.

I passed both exams on the fourth day so did not need to attend on the Friday.

Would you recommend to a friend or colleague?

Without hesitation
