What Our Students Say
“Online learning wasn’t something new to me; I enjoyed it and it was ideal for my needs of working during the day and studying in the evenings and on the weekends.
The VLS was simple to navigate and easy to find anything you wanted.”
Ashley Dawkins
Professional Interior Design
“Studying with NDA was a great experience. I really enjoyed the course. It was extremely beneficial, helpful and informative.
It was my first time to learn online and at first I was worried how to communicate with my tutors and friends, but I was really surprised how I was really supported by my tutors. Whenever I needed help, they used to respond immediately.”
