“Thanks for helping my daughter get onto a college course, especially as it was a late entry.  The PA spent a lot of time with her discussing options, identifying a suitable course and contacting the college to check availability.  The PA also arranged for my daughter to enrol the next day, giving her a map and directions on how to get there and the phone number of the County Council Transport Services. ‘X’ is thoroughly enjoying the course.”
