“I was looking for a mental health awareness course online and Argent Advancements come up, I was reading all the courses they offered and they had the one I was interested, I sent few emails and I have to say Felicity come back to me in no time, really friendly and helpful. I have decided to purchase the course and I have to say.. the course is AMAZING, had a lot of interesting things and I did learn a lot. The course is really straight forward and easy to understand, it is nice that Felicity added a few clips in with herself. You also get a certificate which is good, Felicity needed to help me to change the name on the certificate because I wanted my full name on it and once again really quick in replying my email and sorting out the issue. I will definitely recommend this course.”
