LEARNING PROVIDER

Want us to look after your learning as well as your exam? We are an approved learning provider in our own right and do not ‘outsource’ our course delivery to generic online providers.

 Tuition is via group or one to one, with real tutors. We don’t just email you generalised comments. We give you personal attention using traditional face-to-face taught sessions.

You will know and work with your tutor weekly and they will know you, your work and your potential.

We have qualified tutors waiting to support you in your chosen subject. We can support in person and online delivery and we even have our own creative learning platform.

We facilitate most academic and creative subjects and qualifications from Functional Skills to A levels.

Testimonials 2020

We’re proud to have supported our candidates as we remained open, supportive and proactive throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, when other centres closed, or dropped candidates entirely. We kept on working for our candidates to allow them to improve their career opportunities and life goals.

The Enter Centre has gone the extra mile during the pandemic keeping me informed as to the process due to the exams being cancelled and the options available. Being there by phone and email. Taking the time to listen and guide me through the process. Thanks to you all for a job well done.

LW

The centre has helped me in the past months I think the centre has done a great job. I am really impressed at the job this centre has done during the pandemic. This situation was really unexpected and hard for everyone, but the way the centre managed to deal with it was really good. I am really happy.

F.I.

Thank you for the work that the exam centre has put in, in order for students to progress. The examination centre would have been doing a lot of unseen work in what was a worrying time for everyone. Thank you again and no doubt it will not be the last time we will be using your examination centre.

C.F.

Enter CIC offered a high-quality and first-class service. Even when Covid 19 meant all exams would be cancelled. Reading on social media how others were unable to be considered for a grade, we were so pleased that Enter CIC worked with our learning provider. We’ll be applying for further exams at Enter CIC.

J.W.

Thank you so much for all your team’s help achieving a grade.





E.W.

I am so happy we chose Enter CIC for my A Level Sociology Exam. This year’s been very stressful, but Enter CIC’s been so helpful and positive throughout. They worked hard ‘behind the scenes’ with my Course Provider to ensure I could gain a grade for the cancelled exam. Thank you for your help in gaining my A Level.

E.W.

Thank you so much for all the help and support in getting {…} her GCSE grades. You went above and beyond in ensuring {she} could get results when other centres quickly let us down. We also appreciated your support with her January exams. Again you went above and beyond to ensure she received the additional help she was entitled to as well as providing a comfortable environment for her to sit exams in.

N.L.

I would like to thank you and everyone who has been involved with myself and {…} during the examination process. It was a challenge trying to find an exam centre that would accept an external candidate, but Enter CIC were very accommodating, helpful and supportive of {…} needs. 

J.M.

{…} is extremely happy and proud of her grades. Thanks for all your help with this year.
