What I enjoyed the most, was the personal touch of the staff and the friendliness of everyone at AOY. The coaches are easy to reach and very helpful, I would definitely recommend AOY to others to further their education.

An amazing experience, I was guided and helped in many ways. I finally obtained my certificate for Health & Safety Rep and I am now ready for a new study journey with Academy of York.

It was the first college course I’ve ever enjoyed in my life. You do it in your own pace and space, no rush and the college checks up on you now and then. The coordinator is always there to help where you don’t understand
