I found the Alffie Parents Next modules very flexible… as you can do it off an app on your mobile phone. Whenever I had a chance, I would hop onto my app and complete as much as I could. It was really helpful to me because I have been on maternity leave for over a year so I feel like I am getting ready to return back to work thanks to Alffie.

Alffie has the best design and the textbooks are very clear, logical and meticulous. The key details are repeated to reinforce memory. I would certainly recommend Alffie to anyone I know who's thinking about courses or looking for a job.

The course is great, the staff where very helpful in accommodating my disability by helping me clarify the wording, very attentive when I needed help, being patient as it took a bit of time for placement… all in all a really good experience with Alffie.
