Excellent course!
Kulwindar Kour Singh
Just completed my HLTA level 4 course. Was really easy and straight forward to follow, Customer service was great. Thank you to Steve Caine and Amir for their support and getting back to me about any queries I had about the course. Loved the way feedback was given for each assessment criteria. The only thing that was disappointing was that there is a £30 resubmission fee.
Cassandra Quaintance
I had a lot of questions when I started the HLTA course because I hadn’t studied for a long time. Apex learning were excellent because they gave me direction and assurance. Once I got going on my course, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to others. The course material is straightforward and email communication is always prompt and extremely helpful ‘thank you Steve Caine’. I was able to finish the course before the deadline and accommodate my study time around my full-time job. Thanks Apex Learning!
