Do not waste your money coming to this institution. The teachers are rude, incopetent and racist towards some students. You'll do better as a self learner with online free courses, books and AI to generate problems and tests. In the end there's less stress and the material absorption is much better too! This school is a write off and a waste of tax payer's money. It should be closed permanently!
