“I recently completed my Diploma in Children’s Services through ACE Community Colleges. I found everyone to be helpful and the trainer Deb Maunsell was so encouraging during the course.
Deb is a fantastic trainer who has such a positive impact on students, she was always available to help and is very approachable.
The course workload was manageable, even whilst working full time and with a young family at home. I would definitely choose to study with ACE again.”
