I have just enrolled for an AAT course and my experience so far has been really great. When I called to enquire I spoke with Luke, he was very helpful, friendly and professional, helped me set up my account, make the payment and answered my many questions perfectly. The account was activated the next morning and my books arrived in just 2 days. The online platform is well organised and detailed. I highly recommend e-Careers.
James was very helpful and patient with me whilst choosing the course best suited to me. He went through all my options with me and made sure I understood exactly what opportunities each one would lead too. I would definitely recommend this company! 5 star service and I am really enjoying my course.
