  • Thanks once again for a great course. I had originally been quoted Over ?1000 for the CIW Foundations course, so it was a nice surprise to stumble upon your courses at more than half the price. I have found the course well written and included everything I need to pass my exam.

  • If you want to be a Web designer and developer, I fully recommend taking this course. I can say Distance Learning Centre have proved themselves as one of the good private schools, according to the course section you provided to me, and as I see I have passed the Assignments, got a (Merit Grade) by senior examiner, and (9 Open Awards Credits) for Web Site Design and construction level three.
