What I would highlight: Foundation Diploma was apt for taking up art after a small gap. The online course was perfect for grown-up pupils and those busy with personal and professional engagements, as you can work at your convenience. Mentors are accessible and always prompt to come back with assistance and suggestion. It is a pathway to university for me and mentor Anne was quite supportive all along. I would surely suggest.
What could be improved: Everything was positive.

What I would highlight: Nothing good
What could be improved: Mentor Heidi Babb takes more than months to assess the work of my son. After following up, she was very rough in her response saying my son is not as worth as other students. I am done with her rude attitude and the reasons she gives for such awful behaviour. I would suggest avoid this organization if you do not want to be treated with disrespect.
Would you recommend this course?: No
