Very good service from Oxbridge today. Very helpful and friendly, spoke with Hayley who took the time to explain everything to me. The finance option arrived and was set up in a few minutes. The course is due to be sent to me tomorrow and will be delivered by courier. Delighted.
I called the college for some advice regarding the courses and Chris was very kind and patient, he fully answered my questions and was not at all pushy. Chris made sure I was armed with all of the information I needed and called me a few days later to see if I had any other questions, again no pressure. A truly professional college where quality is put before quantity.
