Noah –
I am a Primary school teacher, and I wanted to achieve my QTLS for which I did my L5 DET from Britannia Training centre, and I am very much pleased. The tutors were very cooperative. I would recommend them.
Arlo –
Enjoyed doing my course very much! It has been a long journey, almost a year! I am glad it’s finally over. Thanks to their support and advice. I now have my L5 DET and I am delighted.
Tim Whitehouse –
I have been doing my Level 5 diploma in E&T with them and I’ve had experience with online learning institutes before, but I found Britannia far more professional and supportive. I feel it easier day by day to achieve my diploma.
Pat Leung –
Recently completed my L5 DET with them. The course is easy to adapt and complete on your own, my tutor was also very supportive whenever I faced any difficulty during the course. Not to mention, the resources were extremely helpful. The course is challenging but not difficult to complete with the kind of support offered by the staff at Britannia Training Centre.
