Missed the sale (40% off) but was called and they honoured it!

I saw by chance they had a 40% off flash sale (2.5 hours only) and tried to pay, but my banking app failed and the window of opportunity closed, meaning it went back to the full price. I got a call shortly afterwards from a lady called Holly who not only talked me through the purchase, but also honoured the original 40% discount which is amazing. She was lovely to talk to and very patient especially when my app froze again ;)

I had a great experience enrolling…

I had a great experience enrolling thanks to Solomon Watson. He was so patient and he made it easy to get through the enrolment, he also broke it down for me so I could have a better understanding. We spoke via phone call and he made me feel welcome which made me want to join even more as it was all good vibes.

The adviser was helpful & professional & put me at ease.

The lady i spoke with, was called Courtney, she was very pleasant & really helped with my decision on moving forward in starting my Grade 3 in Dog Grooming, she talked me through the payments, & my commitments, there was nothing I didn't understand. She put me at ease, as I find most things overwhelming.
