The tutorial support was excellent! Both Wilma Cowie and Jason Lammsky were always friendly and helpful. I received a lot of constructive guidance and tips. The tutorial responses were always returned promptly.
M.S – Qualified, with Distinction
This is first-class training from a knowledgeable and well-organised provider. I would not hesitate to recommend ESTON Training to friends, family or work colleagues – in fact, I already have done!
Great news (for me)! I landed a job. I saw a job posting and sent in my CV. I went for the interview last Monday and they offered me the job on Tuesday. I will be working 20 hours a week, predominantly from home.
It’s no secret why we keep getting positive feedback…it’s because we are really good at what we do!
