ShippingCollege is the best College to study with. I enjoyed the course like it was live in the classroom. I am a single mother of three young kids and I managed to study with them because the College Team were so friendly, flexible and co-operative! My e-Tutor was the best Tutor I have ever had. I would advice single mothers to study a profession with ShippingCollege if you are interested in this field. They give you freedom to study and they don't stress! They are so flexible. ShippingCollege I will be returning.
