Set me up with an instructor (Paul) very quickly who fits my schedule. They were also fairly flexible if I needed to miss a week due to unforeseen circumstances, etc. Paul was an excellent instructor! Explained and taught very well. Was very good at explaining things in an easy-to-understand manner. Clearly, he is very experienced at adapting his knowledge to whoever he is teaching. I passed the first time due to his tuition and guidance. Would 100% recommend!
