Chief Mates Orals prep course- FANTASTIC!
All lessons, studying materials and lecturers were great, extremely helpful. Questions were answered promptly. I appreciated and found very helpful that the group lessons were recorded so that I was able to watch them back multiple times throughout the revision process. I would highly recommend this approach to orals preparation and will definitely use myself again in the future!
