Excellent experience
Excellent experience, everything from registration to delivery of material was fast and efficient. I am doing the counseling course and the information and study material is very informative. I did my first assignment and got my results a day later. Very satisfied and would like to encourage everyone looking for online studies to try Blackford Centre.

Hi, thanks for your feedback!
Tutors are required to respond to students within 7 working days as standard. If ever you find you are waiting longer than this amount of time for a response, please contact our support team at: support@inst.org straight away, as we can then help get everything back on track! Most often when there is a delay, it is due to a technical issue, or an email falling into junk, for example.
Please do get in touch if you need our support, and I hope you enjoy your next course module!

Five very large stars!
Five big tars. Very impressed. I have only just joined and have not got very far yet but thoroughly enjoying myself. The course is easy to read and very informative. I am on dialysis and drawing cartoons is very enjoyable and welcome Distraction from a long 4hour session.
The course arrived very quickly and my queries were answered promtly with no fuss. I would thoroughly recommend this course.
