Our customers love our work

  • 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...

    - Monique

  • 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.
