Reviews
- Good end resultReview by Marc

Eventually I received a high credit grade for my Oil and Gas exam, although it took 2 attempts. The first time I tried the exam paper I was not confident and scraped a pass mark. I realise it was really my own fault as I didn't use the advice of sheilds tutoring and simply read through the learning materials, thinking I already knew enough.Quality Value Price
When I went back to SHEilds for support they gave me a lot of advice and was happy with my end result. Thank you, without you I'd never have passed.
