“I found this course extremely beneficial, particularly the numerical module… I made the mistake of signing up to a similar program with another outfit when I’d finished this one. There was simply no comparison. In terms of professionalism, user friendliness and accuracy this, Career Services, was head and shoulders ahead of the competition”
