Dawn and I both completed your online course and thought they were first class. Really liked they way they were laid out and structured, as well as the fact they were hugely educational…which I suppose is the whole point of them!

I found the course very straight forward and easy to navigate. The information is well laid out and interesting. Every module creates an inner confidence and I was so pleased to have achieved my certificate. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to gain this qualification. I have also put 2 members of staff on the course.
- Natalie Godefroy
It was the very first time that I did a course online and was rather daunted by the process. I did not need to worry... the whole process was explained very clearly and was easy to follow from beginning to end. I would not hesitate to recommend Online Training Ltd...

An initiative course which is one of the best courses I have come across in years and makes me confident that my clients have the necessary background when providing laser treatments. After passing the course, clients have come back and told me how much they enjoyed it and to quote one gentleman “I found the course very interesting, I have already surprised / bored, people with my new found technical knowledge”. It’s also brilliant that the course is online as it makes it accessible to all, delegates can fit learning around their busy lives.

The technology you use and advice provided was incredibly beneficial. I was able to do a lot more learning in less time using the downloaded course notes and viewing the video sessions. It allows you to be more efficient and effective in learning and study.
