City and Guilds Specialist Advanced Diploma in Teaching, Training and Assessing Learning.

“It was one of the most challenging and engaging courses, I have ever done. It was so interactive. I felt that I developed a deeper understanding of Adult Learning. It gave me great confidence to go out and deliver training. The course covers all aspects of adult learning, including profiles, learning styles, strategies and assessment. It is really an essential course for anyone considering tutoring.”
