★★★★★
“My experience on the course was that it was great as I was really struggling with the socio-cutural part of PE but the revision course really deepened my understanding of the topic and enabled me with tho tools required to answer the exam questions properly. I would definitely recommend the course to others to attend as I think it’d be extremely helpful to all even those that understand the subject really well”
