ETM LEVEL 2
2014-04-18From my first telephone enquiry, the staff at HFE were very supportive and informative such that I had full details of the course in my inbox within seconds and signed up shortly after. Manuals arrived promptly, the learning schedule ensured all aspects of the course were completed in a timely manner.

Great all round! Study theory early!
2014-06-26Did ETM Level 2 recently and passed all assessments! Great tutor support for theory, very friendly and great educational materials for the course. My advice would be start theory revision and tests as soon as you can so it sinks in by the time practicals start.
