"Working from home is ideal as I'm not constricted to night classes or college schedules.  The Course Advisors are a breath of fresh air, very down to earth and practical - much more helpful than other people I've encountered in other institutions.  
 
Also, the tutor support has been very useful and I was very surprised at how quickly the tutor came back with really useful advice." Sam Yates, ICS Graduate
