Just started the L3CAVA course so too early to give a full opinion. I did have a few concerns before enrolling but the admissions team handled things and responded which helped making the decision . Registration process was smooth, payment done and I got access to the portal without any delay. Everything looks in order so far will see how it goes as I move ahead.

Attira Dave –
I have just enrolled for a CAVA certificate course through the online chat bot system that’s given on the website. The person who replied to me was very cooperative and informative, convinced me to purchase the course. I have accessed the LMS through the link that was provided to me after my registration process was complete and I made my initial payment. The resources provided are so far sufficient and looks fine to me. Here’s to hoping good learning and achieving my goals this year.
Dani Alam –
Great customer service. I enrolled myself in both the CAVA and IQA courses as I want to be an assessor in my university. My experience with the courses has been positive, and I would definitely pursue other qualifications with this school, if needed in my professional life. The only complain that I have is that feedback time for assignments could be better.
