  • Pursuing the home study course bolstered me to achieve a qualification alongside working and taking care of family. I could finish it at my convenience. My mentor was prompt to reply and provided with some useful input. I would surely go for another course with them.

  • NCC provides awesome variety of courses, and I have gained a qualification with them which will bolster me in my opted career. But, I had 2 issues with them. Half way through my course, my mentor was replaced and there was quite confusion on the way the mentors worked or assessed my task. The second mentor did not give precise input on any changes required. Also, the course work was not quite informative on some of the topics.

  • I did not get much assistance whenever I had issues and so I was not pleased at all in spite of finishing the course through my hard work. I would advice, more support should be provided when the pupils ask for it as they really require it.
