I spoke with a man who was very helpful, calmed my nerves about starting something new I did not feel pressured at all, which was so nice as I had spoken to a few other providers who were more interested in my bank details than the course I needed. I suffer from anxiety and everything was done at my pace, I felt as though I could ask as many questions as I wanted and that they were genuinely interested in me; Chris could not have been more helpful or patient. The website also clearly states the course material and what to expect, so it wasn’t a surprise when it arrived. My tutor had been delightful, replies very quickly and has been helpful throughout. I thoroughly recommend Oxbridge.
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.
I would like to thank the Oxbridge college for the support studying this course, detailed, interesting and well worth every penny. I feel confident and ready to go!
Thank you to all the administrative staff and tutors for their help, support and encouraging comments. You made a real difference!
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.
