ISSA really worked with me to help me complete my courses, granting me extensions when they did not have to and providing support every step of the way. The prompt feedback on my test results was great. I will be doing more courses!
Tamara Ribeiro-Bailey, January 30
Materials was easy to understand but a little difficult to locate them but I’m happy that staff was great in assisting me. I loved that they gave us several months to complete this on our own leisure.
