Student Reviews
I had a positive experience at this college. The tutors are helpful and knowledgeable and the content was clear, engaging and well organised.
I have completed the Level 3 Medical Secretary Course with Lewis College. I have really enjoyed the course and it's content. Some of the content I already had experience with but there was lots I had not done before and I am glad to be able to refresh and add to my knowledge, and also be able to prove to future employers that I am able to do these things - a big tick for my CV! I started this course when working in a call centre which I did not enjoy and wanted a change. I have since changed to a band 3 medical secretary role in the NHS with no previous experience in healthcare whilst I was in the middle of this course and I definitely think mentioning it my interview gave me a big leg up. The tutors are all very friendly and encouraging. I would be happy to complete another course with Lewis College.
I started a Virtual Assistant course with Lewis College, and the experience has been fantastic.
After being away from studying for so long, I honestly thought it would feel daunting but the tutors made the journey so comfortable and reassuring from the very beginning.
They were incredibly supportive, patient, and encouraging throughout, always taking the time to help and guide me whenever I needed it.
A huge thank you to Simon, Craig, and Rebecca.

I completed the Executive PA Diploma and couldn’t be happier with the course. The tutors were always helpful and supportive, and I gained so much valuable knowledge. This course really prepares you for a PA role, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I recently completed the Executive PA Diploma at Lewis College and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. The course is extremely well structured, nicely paced, and covers a huge amount of relevant material without ever feeling overwhelming.
A special thank you to the wonderful tutors, especially Rebecca, Simon, Craig and Jen, who were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the programme. Their guidance really made a difference and helped bring the content to life.
The diploma covers so much that is directly applicable to building and advancing your career as an Executive PA. I’ve learned valuable skills, gained confidence, and feel far more prepared for professional growth.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their career and invest in their future. An excellent experience from start to finish!

I recently completed the excellent bespoke advanced IT course with Lewis College. The course was very well structured and flexible with excellent tutors who responded quickly and professionally providing support in advancing skills and confidence to complete the assignments and work. I would highly recommend Lewis College and am very happy with the outcome and experience.
I've had a great experience studying with Lewis College. The communication has always been clear and supportive, and the team is very responsive whenever I've had questions. My course was well structured, easy to follow and genuinely helped me develop valuable new skills. Overall, I highly recommend Lewis College for anyone considering further training or professional development.
I studied a Level 3 Medical Secretary Diploma with Lewis College over 18-months and I couldn’t rate them higher. The support has been incredible and all the tutors have been friendly, supportive and always provided prompt feedback and responses to any queries. The course content was indepth over all modules and covers absolutely everything - having this course and qualification on my CV despite at the time still studying it still led to me getting 2 job offers of a Medical Administrator as well as an NHS Medical Secretary. I loved the flexibility of this course, whilst studying I changed jobs, moved house and went through a period of illhealth which meant there were periods I wouldn’t study for a few weeks at a time, but again the support and understanding from the tutors and having access to the course for 18-months meant there were no concerns in terms of not having enough time to finish the course. If you’re looking at a career change into medical administration/secretarial work, I’d highly recommend this course.
I recently completed my PA Certificate at Lewis College, and I could not be happier with the experience. The course was well-structured, highly informative, and delivered in a clear and engaging way. The tutors were incredibly supportive, always available to answer questions and provide helpful guidance throughout the programme.
Lewis College truly helped me build confidence in my skills and prepared me thoroughly for the next step in my career. I am very grateful for their professionalism, encouragement, and dedication to student success. I would highly recommend Lewis College to anyone looking to develop their administrative or PA skills.
