CIRO was brilliant in ensuring I stayed on track by providing regular face-to-face sessions and online catch-ups. Although I was fortunate with my timing and didn’ t need extra support, I always knew help was there if required,”
Gareth Hilditch, former CIRO apprentice
You’ re not just enrolling on a course— you’ re joining a community committed to your success.
I have had strong support from both the university and CIRO throughout the programme, especially when I needed to take a study break.. As a part time remote learner, it can feel overwhelming at times, but there is plenty of support to help you through it.”
Kirsty Mitchell, former CIRO Academic Learner
