What people say...

“
”

Increasingly more Design & Technology students are keen to incorporate electronics and some form of robotics in their product design. PG Online’s Python & Visual Basic programming and software guides are the ideal starting point.

The format and structure of material is logical and clear. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of Exam Tips which offer students important advice for the examination.
