WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE COURSECOURSE
‘The school combined English language
practice with computer skills both absolutely
necessary for the modern army. It was
also flexible enough in order not to prevent us from keeping up with
our duties’
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THE COURSECOURSE
‘The course saved the army money, time and space. It brought together officers from all over the country
even if that was in a virtual class. I really enjoyed the
real time lessons and I wish they were more. We
covered a lot of material in such a short time…I feel I
really learned a lot!’
'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change'
