Surveying Technologies Theory (Level 3 Certificate)
-
The course was a shock to the system initially as I was only used to conventional study so home learning with a full time job and young family was a little difficult, however the design of the course meant I was able to manage my time independently and felt supported by my tutor along the way. My tutor responded to any qeries I had immediately and was very helpful and supportive - thank you.
