The small class sizes and personal attention from all the tutors at Gifford Academy made a huge difference in completing my Diploma. It wasn’t just about passing exams; it was about really understanding the material and how to apply it in a real-world setting. I've already secured a job, and I feel so prepared, thanks to Gifford Academy.
