I had a great experience at StartSteps! The registration process was very easy because the staff helped with all the paperwork and even borrowing a computer for the course! All the teachers are professionals in their respective field who are also enthusiastic about sharing their trade knowledge and even giving relevant advice. A clear recommendation from me!
