Open Colleges gave me a great chance for a better future. Without this online study opportunity, I wouldn't have been able to work full-time and take care of my family at the same time.
Overall, I was very happy with the structure by Open Colleges. Mostly easy to understand criteria and great support from all assessors. Will highly recommend to friends and colleagues.
