Bernard and Neal,
As we say farewell, I want to thank you for your continuous help and support. Your guidance has boosted my confidence in ways I will always carry with me. I’m truly grateful for everything you’ve done for the whole group. We didn’t just pass the course — we also gained friends we can proudly say hello to on site!

Take care, Bernard and Neal, and thank you once again for everything.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just completed my ACS renewal course and examinations at Focus Plymouth, very satisfied with the quality of the course and the friendly/approachable staff especially Adam and Tom. I suffer from severe exam stress and Tom gave me all the time and encouragement I needed, without actually giving you the answers he was able to point me in the right direction and let me calm down, this enabled me to be able to pull the relevant information from my brain. So without panicking I was able to show my true knowledge and understanding of the topics being examined. The reception and admin staff were also very helpful and accommodating especially Scott.
Overall couldn't recommend them enough
