SACOB ICB Course
Happy Customers
I have only good things to say about SACOB. The amount of support and the wealth of materials that are available through the student platform has really eased my studying experience. Each and every individual I have dealt with at SACOB has been encouraging and helpful and the lecturers have gone out of their way to help when I have been stuck with a query. As an adult learner studying for the first time in many years and also holding down a demanding full-time job, I needed a college that is as student orientated as SACOB, so when I got in touch with them, it was a great relief to just focus on my studies and get the support I needed from my college
