Highly recommend to everyone who are preparing for BCS! The material was very easy to read, understand and learn. Also high level assistance was provided at all times from preparation till the exam. Also if you pass the prepared mock you will undoubtedly pass the exam.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the BCS Requirements Engineering course with Amatis Training, led by Martin, and had a great experience. The training felt very tailored; Martin provided plenty of personal attention the attendees and put effort into explaining how the content applied to individuals' situations. The inclusion of multiple mock exams was especially helpful for checking understanding and building confidence ahead of the real assessment. The overall atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, which made it easy to stay engaged throughout. Highly recommended.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive experience with Amatis as a training provider. I completed the self-study BCS Business Analysis Practice course and was very impressed with the quality of the content. What stood out most for me were the sample papers and mock exams. They were incredibly helpful in preparing for the real exam. The questions were very similar in style and difficulty to the actual exam, which made a big difference. Repeating the mocks until I was consistently scoring above 90% really boosted my confidence going into the exam. I also really appreciated the support from Martin and Sarah. They were always responsive, helpful, and reassuring, especially when I had last-minute nerves. At one point, I ran into an issue with the exam portal and couldn’t sit the exam at my scheduled time. Sarah went above and beyond to help, kindly rescheduling it twice on the same day so I could still take it. Overall, I’d highly recommend Amatis to anyone preparing for their BCS exams.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
