There is absolutely no reason why Amatis should not get a 5 star rating and sooner too. I have done four BCS modules with them over the past year and it always has been a wonderful experience - BCS foundation, Requirement engineering, Modelling business processes and Business analysis practice. The trainers have all been exceptional, thorough and knowledgeable with one assignment - to ensure you pass your exam. Amatis staff are extraordinary and have always surpassed expectation. Always happy to go above and beyond. Did I mention the mobile app, so easy to use on the go and quickly replaced games and idle browsing. Thank you so much Amatis, I'd choose you again and highly recommend you to anyone and everyone.

I had an excellent experience with Amatis. The training materials, particularly the app, were outstanding. The support offered outside of course hours was very helpful and demonstrated a high level of commitment. The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a positive learning environment. Bill, our trainer, made the course exceptionally enjoyable and engaging. His fantastic stories added context to the materials, making the learning experience memorable. I highly recommend Amatis for their quality training and supportive approach.

My experience with Amatis is more than amazing! The online course led by Martin was perfectly organized combining theory and practice. The platform with the needed information, the samples, and the mock exams were very helpful and more than enough during the period of self-preparation. The communication with the team was always so easy, friendly and on time, so I felt that they are the best choice for BA-related trainings. With Amatis even the process of scheduling the exam is very easy. They create very friendly environment during the exam, so you can be calm and confident. I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the whole Amatis team (especially to Martin and Sarah)! You will be my choice in future as well!

I had a fantastic experience with Amatis, the BCS exam provider. The study materials were good, and though I encountered some confusion in a few areas, Martin, the founder, was incredibly supportive and readily addressed all my questions. The sample papers they provided proved invaluable for honing my exam skills. During the actual exam, Sarah, my invigilator, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the experience stress-free. Overall, I highly recommend Amatis for their top-notch support, materials, and exceptional service, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
