Supplied really quickly from the point of purchase. I like the content that was clearly presented. I have completed and passed my Foundation and working through this course to completion. I think it is excellent and more than met expectations and consider the course and content value for money. Happy to recommend - 5 stars

Course content supplied quickly by IT Governance - the content was clear and concise in bite-size modules. Course certainly met with my expectations. I have taken and passed the exam. Overall, if I were to do something like this again, I would prefer and opt for Class/Live Online as mainly engaged in the course in my own free time due to operational reasons - though this is more of a personal issue rather than any sort of criticism of the course. That said, I rate the course as 5 stars
