What people say...

“
”

I'd just like to express my thanks for the material and support. If I had needed to have made my own resources, the results wouldn't have been as good and now I'm happy to tailor and tweak the resources to fit my own teaching and the student's own skills.

Paul Sloane. Head of Computer Science, Lady Manners School

The A level units that we have purchased from PG Online are the first resources I have purchased that do what they say on the box. A complete scheme of work, nothing else required! At a time when the ICT/computing curriculum is in complete flux, these resources have been the rock we needed to hang on to. They have saved us many hours of work and have helped students (and staff) understand the curriculum. Thank you.
