I'm about to finish my Bachelor of Business course. I've very impressed so far with the organization and all the support during the pandemic. It's not easy to study online, but the lectures are great! I've got some issues with my attendance like 2 or 3 times because of Zoom maybe... but I emailed them and the problem was solved really fast. :) I recommend Dorset College.
