    Lily Palmer – King’s College Saint Michaels

    “I recently completed my Business and Administration Course with Riverside and wanted to send a quick email about my assessor, Sarah Batson.

    Sarah was always really helpful and explained everything I needed to do in a clear and concise way, having her as my assessor definitely helped me with the course as I always had great instructions on what to do.

    I also really enjoyed the course content and hope to do another qualification with you soon”
