I think it was probably down to the fact that after looking online and doing a little bit of research myself, I sort of quickly realised that it is one of the better courses out there and also through recommendation of friends.
AlexEpsom
I would say it definitely exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed it from start to finish and I couldn't fault any of the subjects we learned along the way...I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot.
