My practice has developed alongside the ever-evolving training and apprenticeship sector, and I have worked in many different settings, including colleges, private training agencies and a foster care agency.

I was made redundant so thought should upgrade my teaching profile with the ACWE. I am so grateful to the tutor for making it all so easy and helping me achieving my ambition of becoming a lead assessor. Applying for the positions now and hoping for the best.

I have done quite a few online courses and must admit that school of leadership was probably the best of all. They are well organised and care about their learners. I will 100% recommend them and do my L4 IQA with them next year.
Ananya Borah –
Highly satisfied with their services. Kudos to the tutor for making it look so simple.
Mildred Guzman –
I was only interested in doing a level 3 award in assessing vocationally related achievement but found this website offering the whole certificate for the same price. It was worth putting that extra effort. I found the admin team (especially Francis) and the tutor (Iqbal) really helpful. Thank you and wish you all the very best.
Matthew Hartwell –
Great institute and very good value for money
Tehreem Ali –
I would only give a 3 star as it took them a while to set me up on their VLE. The plus side is that they are probably the cheapest in the market.
