Testimonials

“This was incredible. I have learned so much these past few months and during lockdown and really gave me an idea of what I want to achieve in life. I recommend this to most young students due to not currently attending school. This helped me feel like I was and I always had something to look forward to. The marine studies courses were so knowledgeable and I hope to use this knowledge in the future! Thank you to the team and my tutor James who helped me when I was stuck and provided me with lots of sources when I was stuck. Thanks to this amazing team I recommend this to almost anyone. Now onto my next one haha!” - Hayley H.
