Reviews by former students who attended a Standard course in Cardiff

The school building is not fully universally accessible (due to its age, renovations are limited). However, the staff were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, allowing me to attend school even while using a wheelchair. (Note: I am able to walk short distances and use the restroom independently.)
Thank you very much for arranging the necessary support so I could attend classes in a wheelchair. The staff took the time to discuss in detail what the school could and could not provide, and how best to ensure I could attend classes happily. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and accommodation.

Simple and uncomplicated enrolment. The teaching staff were committed and you could always ask questions during the lessons. Good location, good lesson timetable. Please bear in mind that 2 weeks is too short to give a meaningful assessment.
Provide an overview of the exam dates in the course programme.
