Having recently completed my Level 7 Diploma In strategic Management and Leadership at City College Oxford, I would highly recommend their college to anyone wishing to pursue further qualifications or training. Mr Feras and the team have been extremely helpful throughout my study, following up regularly and providing pointers along the way.
A fantastic experience across my study.
