    I have completed a similar course with the international open academy and was able to download a certificate for no extra charge. This course was good but disappointed that you have to pay upwards of £23 for a certificate. For this reason I would not recommend.

    Thought this would be 12 months access at least, but no it was just one month. I should have read the small print. They will not be getting any more of my money.
