Hi, thanks for your feedback.
Our tutors do occasionally take annual leave. They are practising professionals who dedicate a great deal of time to supporting students, so it is only fair they get the occasional break! I am however sorry if this has in any way affected your studies.
Our support team can of course be contacted if ever you do need any support, at: support@inst.org, so please do get in touch if you wish to discuss your course or tutoring. They will be delighted to help!

I can happily and proudly share my jolly moment with all of you. I have successfully passed my Diploma in Nutrition, and can´t thank enough to the Blackford Centre for the magical support, help and studies provided! It has been an enriching and beautiful journey where I have learnt a lot and grown. Moreover, Rick, my tutor, has been an outstanding support during the whole course. Rick has infinite knowledge and experience and is always willing to help you grow and learn. All his feedbacks have helped me get a better version and understanding of the topic of discussion. I would highly recommend and encourage anyone to chose Blackford for their further studies. It´s definitely worth it! Thank you Blackford Centre and Rick for being so amazing! Regards, Monica x
