​At NCA, you will be allocated a dedicated assessor for your entire course, so you're able to build a relationship with your key contact. Unlike other training providers, we don't pass on your work to a host of assessors who don't really know or understand you. Where the assigned assessor becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, another assessor will be assigned to you. Learn More: NCA Trainers and Assessors

One reason why our students are so successful is because we keep a watchful eye on their performance, helping to keep them on track and not get distracted. Keeping to your study plan is the key to your success, so our Student Engagement Coordinators monitor your progress and offer help or guidance as needed. Learn More: NCA Student Support
