Student Testimonials
Alex Capeling
CIW Web Foundations Associate Course
"The course material was brilliant and has given me an excellent foundation for any line of work I could imagine. Anyone looking into Computers, IT, Networks etc. will be mad not to look into this course. Also my Tutor (Michael Verinder) was first class; rapid responses (within an hour at most), very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and of course very supportive. Couldn't have asked for more. Loved it. I will definitely be coming back for any other courses I decide to do, got some decisions to make now but I feel confident in coming back should I decide to."
Martin Nyahasha
CIW JavaScript Specialist Course
"I passed the exam with a 85% mark. I wish I had attempted it much earlier than I did! The material more or less matches what you get on the exam if one sticks to practicing based on it. I would recommend the course to all the beginners in JavaScript programming language."
Steve Gravener
CIW Web Foundations Associate Course
"All of my interactions with the sales/admin team have been an extremely positive experience, the staff have been very helpful and responded to all of my queries within a short amount of time. I found the combination of digital and physical materials worked well, and enjoyed the content. I particularly liked how the online quizzes at the end of each lesson were set up to consolidate the new information. I enjoyed learning with the Distance Learning Centre and will definitely complete further courses with them in future."
Stephen Hall
CIW Web Foundations Associate Course
"I have just completed my CIW Foundation Course and am pleased to say that I have passed the Foundation exam. I thought the course was excellent, as was the prompt and helpful assistance I received when needed. With a good blend of theory and practical labs I would certainly recommend this course to anyone wanting to gain a comprehensive grounding in the fundamentals of Internet Technology and I am looking forward to continuing my learning by taking the CIW Web Design Specialist Course."
Kathy Turner
CIW Courses
"I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. I found it very informative and relevant. The facility to test yourself at the end of each chapter and then the practice papers were invaluable in re-enforcing what I had just learnt. The hands on 'labs' also aided and reinforced the learning process."
Simon
CIW Web Design Professional Course
"I recently attained my CIW Web Design Professional accreditation after successfully passing the Foundations, Site Design and E-Commerce courses.
