Student Reviews
The Medical Secretary diploma takes you through a wide range of topics from Spreadsheets, Power point presentations, Professional working relations to Medical terminology, everything a Medical Secretary would need to know and more. The Modules are very detailed and take you through the lessons step by step, so they are suitable for completer beginners, as well as for those with some previous experience.
My tutors were Jen, Rebecca and Simon. They were absolutely brilliant, as they helped and encouraged me throughout the course. Even at times when I felt I wasn't doing well, the tutors were sympathetic and assisted me to work through my lessons. They responded to my queries quickly and always gave constructive feedback for my work.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of going into a medical secretarial field.

An extremely comprehensive course (Executive PA Diploma Course), with very helpful and supportive tutors. The lessons were easy to read, navigate and understand. I would highly recommend Lewis College and feel I have gained an abundance of knowledge and skills from working through the course and with the tutors. 😊
Thank you for supporting me during this course (PA Diploma Level 3). I really enjoyed it.
I completed an Executive PA course with Lewis College.
The course was very in depth and having started a PA role whilst completing the course this allowed me to expand my knowlegde further and study alongside a busy PA role. A couple of units did not necessarily relate to my current role (petty cash and letters) but if I was to to change company then this may differ and I would have more confidence in what to do.
Tutors are super helpful and understand throughout.
Would recommend if looking to start a PA career or develop your skills further.

A great course! It has helped me refresh existing skills and learn new ones. The coursework and content were engaging and comprehensive. The tutors are friendly and responded to emails quickly, returning feedback promptly which allows you to move through the course at a good pace. Overall, it has been beneficial, allowing me to add to my knowledge and the qualification has aided enrolment on to my next learning course and will also support my CV.
I studied the Level 3 Executive PA Diploma with Lewis college and the college provided me with informative and very supportive Tutors who help you through the course of your choice. The in depth units help you to develop a growing skill set and I am exceptionally happy with the contents of the course I chose, as well as the supportive help from my knowledgable tutors. I do recommend Lewis College to anyone and everyone looking to study with flexibility, remotely but with the same support you would receive in a face to face setting.
Towards the end of my course, I was promoted at work to Senior Administrator and the skills I learnt throughout my course came in ever so handy as I was able to transfer and apply them in my new role.
A special thank you to Rebecca, Simon, Penny and Jen for your support, feedback and encouragement throughout.

When I decided to join Lewis College to earn a Medical Secretary Diploma, I didn't know what to expect. But once I started my lessons, I knew it was going to go well. From day 1, the instructors fully and completely put me at ease with their warm welcome and thorough explanation of the course.
They were there to help and guide me at every step, with regular emails and correspondence. I could freely ask them anything and there would be solution to every issue.
The content of the course, study materials, online information and creditability of the college is of stellar quality and well approved. All the staff members who were involved in my course work are well qualified and knowledgeable in their respective fields.
With career guidance counselling available, students can hope to find a suitable job, and with the accredited certificates aim to be placed in good career positions.
If you are looking to learn something new , or need to brush up on your existing skills, or even up your game, this is the place to be.

I have recently finished an Office Admin Diploma with Lewis College and I cannot recommend them enough. The work was fun to do, although challenging. The tutors were extremely helpful and always there for any questions I had, big or small! Whilst working full time and being a mum and wife, I did need to put in the time on evenings and weekends, however this was definitely worth it. The course took me roughly ten months to complete, but can be completed sooner.
I had no knowledge on this subject or any computer skills at all when starting this course, so it is definitely beginner friendly. This course has helped me to feel more confident moving forward with a change in career planned in the future.
If you are considering this course, then I fully recommend you give it a go.

I have attended the Advanced IT Diploma course to enhance my Office application skills. Despite having a good foundation and having used some of the software for work previously, I learned a lot. The tutors I interacted with were very helpful. The materials are clear and provide many examples to delve deeper into the topics. The part I appreciated the most was the practical exercises, which allowed me to apply the concepts learned and solidify my understanding. Overall, I found this course useful.
This summer, I completed an Executive assistant on-line diploma course at Lewis college. I would recommend it to anyone keen to start a career in executive support. The course was hard work and quite intensive in view of assessment preparation. I had to put many hours of hard work in the evenings and at weekends, having a full-time day job. However, it was all worth it! The tutors were very helpful and always available to provide a guidance or advice. The course covered many interesting topics that helped me to improve my existing (little) knowledge and skills I had about executive support. The College uses an on-line hub to access the course modules that is very easy to use and navigate. Supporting learning materials available were clearly written and provided in-depth information on the topics. I was very keen on many modules, especially the ones that covered IT topics and Leadership skills. Completing the course was a big achievement for me and having a diploma helped me to secure my new role. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone keen to take up higher education course.
Medical Secretary Diploma Level 3 - finally completed. : ). It took me a bit longer - 22 months - to finish the course due to personal circumstances. I decided to extend it as I wanted to finish all units. I really enjoyed online course, I liked flexibility, and studying at your own pace. At times was challenging, but worth the effort. : )
All units are well designed. The Medical Terminology unit very interesting. All IT units helped me to improve my computer and IT skills. The units regarding secretarial work and communication skills, and techniques I found it very useful on a daily basis.
I have really learned a lot from this course.
The tutors were very supportive, responding quickly with a constructive feedback, and available via Zoom. A very Big Thank you to Simon and Rebecca for being supportive, encouraging and patient.

I recently finished my Medical Secretary course. I loved the ability to work at my own pace from the comfort of my home. All the tutors were very supportive and responsive. I would recommend Lewis College to anyone! 🙂
I highly recommend Lewis College for its outstanding Medical Secretary Diploma. The course is very thorough and extremely interesting. I have improved my general IT skills and learnt many useful skills specific to medical secretary work. All exams can be taken at home which is really convenient. Some units include diary management, PowerPoint, Excel, writing medical letters and audio typing. I enjoyed every unit, the medical terminology was fascinating. The tutors are exceptional, give really useful feedback and couldn't be friendlier. If you want to study this course from home, you couldn't find anywhere better.
Thank you to everyone for my amazing course experience.
Thank you to everyone for my amazing course experience.
When I signed up for the Executive PA course with Lewis College, I had 15 years of experience as a PA but had simply trained on the job. I figured that while I was unemployed, I could keep myself occupied while earning a qualification to support my many years of experience. It provided me with the flexibility that I needed to study while taking care of my family.
The Executive PA course was outstanding. Content was extensive and covered a wide range of skills required for the role. Student portal was easy to navigate. Coursework was very well presented, easy to follow and equally challenging and engaging. Assignments are well thought out, clearly presented, and helped to prepare me for the assessments. Tutors were pleasant to converse with and responded very quickly to any questions I had. They provided excellent constructive feedback ensuring that I was able to complete my assessments to a high standard. I do not think that I could have been anymore supported than I was, had I been sat in a classroom.
I would highly recommend Lewis College to new and existing PAs alike.

Lewis College offers an excellent Executive PA course. The content is extensive, covering a wide range of skills for the role.
Although an online course the tutors are available to answer questions and offer support when needed.
Completeing the course has enhanced my skills and provided me with the confidence to go for my dream PA job.

It was a very nice and very beneficial experience. I have learned a lot of useful information in my working life. I hope many people will benefit from this training. It was a rewarding period and well worth the effort.
This is what you have been telling about emailing. I have not received any emails from you, which I have already informed you. You have sent me some emails which you have sent it to yourself (Mr. Simon)
I don't intend to do the course anymore with such delay from you side.
thanks

I have finished the course for PA with Lewis college. All tutors are great- very approachable and really helpful. I got my set of skills which help me now with my first time role as PA. Special thanks to Simon S. Always helpful and supportive!
I really enjoyed the online course, it was such a great experience for me. For a while, I was interested in a course like this and it filled all my exceptions. I really liked the flexibility of this course and the most valuable thing is that I have learned a lot over the last year and I gained new experiences thanks to my tutors and their support.
Very nice and helpful college, the lessons and courses are very easy to follow. In a year and a half I learned I lot and I have grown up professionally. The tutors are very helpful and comprehensive, it is very worthy to study at this college.
This was a great course to do with lots of good ideas and support along the way. It gives you all you need to know to be a medical secretary with great tips and advice from typing, managing your day, using technology to help organise, working with others and dealing with difficult situations. Would totally recommend it and it got me a nice pay rise. Thank you
Truly wonderful experience working my way (in my own time) through all the units whilst working with incredibly passionate and kind tutors the whole time! I felt completely supported and like I could ask any questions. I found the entire course engaging and crucially I was learning new things/working on more challenging aspects. Not only was it really simple to apply but it has such a relaxed (but formal) approach when accessing workbooks on the online hub. I also enjoyed working on Typesy for my speed typing and also ExpressScribe for my audio transcriptions. All units felt very beneficial to complete. It has many different topics within the Secretarial course. The medical terminology course was certainly worth adding as I have so many new words and terms I can use as a bonus. I didn't even need to pay for the necessary books as they were provided for me with an Amazon voucher. I truly couldn't fault anything! I spent a long time comparing similar courses and this one definitely stood out to me.
I studied the Level 3 Medical Secretary Diploma here at Lewis College online. I am really happy to have just passed this course as it will open up many opportunities. The course content is very detailed and there are lots of useful units such as Excel, PowerPoint, medical letters and audio typing. I have improved my IT skills. The medical terminology units were fascinating. It is important you have the time to set aside as all units require plenty of study. The course tutors are extremely friendly and go the extra mile with quick and clear feedback. They have also been understanding that I have taken a bit longer to study with work commitments etc. If you want to study this qualification I recommend this distance learning college. You can sit the exams and do all study from home and it is excellent quality.
I chose this college because they are amazing and so helpful with everything. When asking a question they got back to me more or less within 24 hours which is so good considering the amount of students they have.
The feedback was very helpful from everything even the lessons were easy to understand.
Overall this college would be the one I go to for further courses if I decide to do more.

This is an excellent course. Although it was hard work, it was very stimulating and enjoyable, and does require a commitment, but the lessons in each module are easy to follow, the course material is ample, thorough and clear. The tutor support could not be better. The assessments are challenging but easy to follow. I really enjoyed my 18 months and now feel confident to be employed as a medical secretary. The course was very thorough and covered everything that is likely to be required in such a role. I can honestly say I loved it and really thought it was a brilliant course. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lewis college. It is a very well run professional outfit. A big thank you to all the tutors who gave me their time, invaluable help and support during the last 18 months.
I have just completed Medical Secretary L3 Diploma Course and I had a very positive experience while doing the course. The tutors were very supportive and the work sent for marking was returned very quickly. I feel that my confidence in using medical terms, together with secretarial tasks has highly improved. I highly recommend Lewis College to anyone who thinks about online studies. You won't be disappointed 🙂
Lewis College is great! The tutors are extremely helpful, always positive and vey supportive. I have learnt so much and would certainly recommend them. Thank you for everything
This is a great course - all the tutors are so approachable and helpful. Learning at my own pace has given me control and flexibility to work around my schedule.
Not only have I enjoyed my course but I have learnt vital skills that will have helped me completely change my career. I would recommend this to anyone !

Recently completed my Executive PA Diploma with Lewis College. With the course being on-line you have the flexibility to study as and when suits you which is invaluable when judging study with work and family life. All the tutors have been supportive and encouraging and are always quick to respond to any queries / questions. Feedback on assessments submitted is always constructive and I have learnt so much.
Great course to do, the tutors are all so lovely and supportive. Have learnt so much from doing the course not just medical terminology, my excel and PowerPoint skills have also sharpened up. Would recommend this course to anyone looking to study to become a medical secretary learning from home
