  • Ther was not even a single loophole all through my course. My mentor was extremely steady and denoted every one of my assignments in five working days despite the fact that I submitted them before the deadlines. She gave amazing and positive input. Thank you so much UK Open College as I can now proceed onward into all day work in an occupation which I truly appreciate doing.
