    I'm very glad I enrolled in this course! It suits the SQA course flawlessly: the school’s instructors, who are IT specialists and professional testers, use the whole language we learnt in the English for IT lessons. In addition, I picked up a ton of important grammar. My English level wasn't so low at first. And yet I struggled so much when it came to speaking. At last, I began to speak! I would like to express my gratitude to Oxana; she is really skilled at quickly improving your English!
