What's not to love about learning with the CoE
The course modules are in-depth & easy to read/understand. Prior to carrying out the assessment you are able to consolidate your learning by completing the test your knowledge & bullet pointing the learning objectives. Further to this, once you have completed each assessment you receive feedback, and you receive feedback once you complete the course.
Any issues you may encounter, the team at COE are on hand and respond quickly & efficiently - double bonus, you have lifetime access to all the courses you complete, great to revisit & brush up on your knowledge & they have online support through their Facebook group.
I really enjoyed this course. It was a lot more in depth and informative than I thought it would be.
I will definitely use the new knowledge and skills within my work.
Desc: I have done over 15 courses with CoE already and I can only recommend them. Friendly customer support, great topics, very alternative and unique courses you'll hardly find anywhere else. Also a huge selection of different interests, there is something for everyone. Great discount codes running at all times! What started as a way to cope with COVID has become a true passion for me. Thank you CoE!
