Personal Development

Martin Kendrick from Fleetwood, Lancashire
Unemployed student
Studying Foundation Degree in Criminal Justice

Several things really but the main one was being treated very badly in court by the CSA and not being allowed to defend or speak for myself. I was very ignorant of my rights and court procedures. Something I intend to remedy.

Many things I could say but I'll keep it brief. I have great respect for my tutors and realise they have much to give if I let them. The courses are very well structured and progress at just the right rate. The text book we have had so far is an excellent read and makes a difficult subject very clear and easy to grasp. My only problem is I occasionally have problems downloading the web-ex seminars. This may be due to a problem at my end and I am looking into it. I love doing the essays and discussions and for me the tutor feedback is absolutely essential to the course whether its a pat on the head or a constructive criticism, we need to know.

I would not hesitate to recommend Kaplan and have already passed on your details to several people. My present intention is to go into law as a solicitor if possible unless something even more interesting and rewarding presents itself.
