I was a little anxious about undertaking a course which involved no face to face contact but it has not caused me any issues at all. The instructions for each module are really straightforward so I rarely have any questions about the work, and if I do, I always receive a prompt, thorough and helpful email response. I have needed very little support to complete the course so far although I know if I did, I would be able to set up a telephone or Skype call to talk this through with someone. I feel like the skills I am learning are really valuable to my PA role and there is lots of practical tips which are easy to implement straight away, as well as lots of information, both for tasks and personal development. It is very good value for money and extremely worthwhile for anyone looking to become a PA!
I have recently completed studying for the Level 3 PA Diploma with LSC for 24 months. The breadth of topics covered were very wide and each module was extremely detailed. Everything I have learnt has been valuable, I feel I have gained so many new skills as well as enhancing the skills I already had. The tutors and assessors were extremely knowledgeable, supportive and helpful throughout, in particular Simon Scraysbrook. The soft skills added as additional units are also very useful. I feel that I now have all the skills necessary to continue, if not further my career as a PA successfully. I would definitely recommend their study programme to anyone, as I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and quality of learning offered. Thank you to all staff at LSC. Sophie
My experience with Lewis College has been excellent from start to finish. Tutors always on hand to give help and feedback. Highly recommended from all angles.
I have just completed my course and it was a very positive experience. All tutors are friendly, helpful and professional. The course covered all the aspects i wanted to learn. Strongly recommended!
I just recieved my Medical Secretary Diploma and I couldn't be happier with the staff at Lewis Secretarial College. They were always helpful and encouraging and only an email away from any queries I had, with quick responses. The course itself was well structured and easy for me to fit around my full time job and life. I loved that I could take my tests in the comfort of my own home and at a time that suited me rather than having to go to test centres. Very happy and might look into doing a shorthand course with them in the future. Thanks guys!!
I'm studying Executive Administrator Diploma. Lewis secretarial college is a place where I stared to explore how studying from home looks like. Lewis Secretarial College has given me the chance to do the courses on my own pace, which is very helpful to manage my time. The Tutors have been supportive and helpful every time I wanted to ask questions and whenever they give me feedbacks on my work. The courses are clear and understandable but sometimes I need to find some supportive books or documents to do my Assignments. Overall, the experience is unmissable and I would recommend this college to anyone who is interested.
I have been studying for the Level 3 PA Diploma with LSC for 18 months, going at my own pace with the material. The amount of course work is probably more than I had envisaged, and there is an element of pre-study administration material that is required before you can tackle the modules. I have not done any studying for a very long time, but the material is broken down and sufficient resources provided to enable me to hand in work I am proud of. Some of the assignments I have found extremely challenging, but with help from the tutors I have surprised myself with what I have managed to accomplish. Standards are high and I feel a real sense of achievement when I receive positive feedback from each assessment. I am nearing completion and everything I have learnt has been valuable. The breadth of topics covered is very wide and each topic is extremely detailed. The tutors and assessors are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The soft skills added as additional units are also very useful. I feel that I will have all the skills necessary to be able to pursue a career as a PA or first class administrator. I can wholeheartedly recommend their study programme to anyone, as I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and quality of learning offered.
I highly recommend Lewis Secretarial College! This college is very professional and all tutors are so kind and helpful. Their support and help is excellent during the course and there is enough time to complete the course. If I need further education, I will definitely choose this college. Thank you :)
I would certainly recommend Lewis Secretarial College. My experience was really good in all aspects. I received the support I needed throughout, and had enough time to complete the course. During my studies I moved house several times, and country, even with all of this, Lewis Secretarial College and the tutors adapted to my schedule so well. The communication was fantastic! Thank you :)
So happy that I picked this College Simon and the rest of the team are so understanding and they are many ways to get in touch with them like skype meetings and Team Viewer sessions. Thanks to them I received an offer as a PA role in my current workplace and I am due to start on Monday! Although it takes me a while to complete my coursework they are very helpful, patient and understanding as I work shifts.
I am studying the medical secretary diploma and opted to enrol for medical terminology and Teeline shorthand as optional extras. Course materials are interesting and give a mix of useful reminders, hints and tips and also new areas to learn. Guidance, encouragement and support from tutors is excellent. Lewis College is providing me with the best remote learning experience I have encountered to date.
Excellent course with a staff of dedicated teachers. I am so happy I came across this college in particular when researching into becoming an executive PA. As an overseas student I felt the teachers were friendly, approachable and easy to contact, all over emails. I would highly recommend the college, you won't be disappointed.
This college is full of amazing courses and amazing support from tutors. Gaining my qualification has changed my working situation for the better and I would recommend it for anyone looking to learn. Hayley
I enjoyed studying for my executive assistant course through Lewis Secretarial College. The team are very supportive and I like how they want to get to know you on a personal level. I will miss communicating with them and I would highly recommend them. I look forward to putting my newly learnt skills in to action when I return back to work after my maternity leave. Thank you to all at Lewis Secretarial College.
The course I chose is very organised and flexible as I can manage my lessons weekly as I want. Tutors are always very happy to help you achieving the skills; they might also help you with video tutorial made by them on the day.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my course with Lewis secretarial college ! I have learnt so much in the space of a year al thanks to the knowledgeable and friendly tutors ! My work was always sent back really quickly with positive and constructive feedback ! Can't thank them enough for all the encouragement and knowledge they have provided me with :)
Thank you for making me study. I always wanted to study alongside my full time job and my newborn baby. I can now study in my own time with no pressure or what so ever. Thank you Simon and Penny, you always make my study easier and always remind me of what's going on.
I am now part-way through my home study course and have found the course content to be extremely thorough and comprehensive. The tutors are excellent,- very supportive, friendly and encouraging whilst giving meaningful, constructive feedback. My only observation with regards the structure of the course would be that it would be useful to offer a 'fast track' option for those who wish to complete the course in a relatively short time span. This could perhaps be achieved by reducing the length and number of pre-assessment assignments to an abbreviated, single task or test which checks understanding sufficiently so that the student can move on to the formal assessments more rapidly.
Since joining Lewis Secretarial I have been impressed with how quickly the tutors respond to any queries I may have. As a full time mum who is also in full time employment my time is extremely precious to me. So it was important for me to find a college that is flexible with my hours to be able to complete the course and Lewis College fulfil these needs perfectly! I can not recommend them enough or their staff who are always on hand to assist. I have learnt so much from my course and look forward to learning more.
I have been studying the Executive PA course with the college and I'm so pleased I decided to take the plunge with an online course. I was nervous about whether I would struggle with understanding everything without being face to face, but I had nothing to worry about. Penny and my tutors have all put me at ease and have been so supportive with my tuition, nothing is too much trouble and they're always on hand to help. I have really developed my IT skills and I am looking forward to completing the course and moving into a fulfilling career. I have already changed jobs to gain more experience in the admin field, something that I never would have had the confidence to do before starting the course. I can't recommend the college enough.
