Meeting revision course needs in regional centres

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 14, 2011 -- Exam Confidence is a leading provider of exceptional revision courses for A Level, IB and GCSE. Courses are unit-specific and exam board-specific and are facilitated by chief and principal examiners as well as knowledgeable and enthusiastic teachers.

Richard Riddell, former Business Studies teacher and founder of Exam Confidence, is a strong believer in the value of intensive, quality revision courses to boost grades. “We aim to be the best in terms of the quality of teaching and the grade improvements of our students” he said. “Although it costs us more, we recruit chief or principal examiners to provide detailed exam technique information to all of our courses, helping students to fine-tune their knowledge with its correct application to their exam questions.

“We also provide a focussed approach to content revision. All our prospective students complete a questionnaire asking them to detail the topic areas of particular interest to them for revision purposes. This information is then passed onto the teaching staff to ensure each class is tailored to needs.”

How has demand for Christmas revision courses been so far this year? “We’ve had a strong response from traditional centres such as London, but we’ve also had considerable demand from our regional centres. We are running A Level revision courses in West Sussex and also in Bath, finding that students appreciate attending courses closer to home.

“In West Sussex, our centre is the beautiful Seaford College, set in glorious South Downs parkland with excellent facilities. For our Bath revision courses, we’re located at Bath Racecourse, a venue of equally excellent calibre, albeit with a different role as a day job!

“We’re continuing to receive enquiries from students and parents around the country – Oxford revision courses and Cambridge revision courses as well as for courses around Manchester. For Christmas, we’re staying with London, Bath and Sussex, but at Easter, we’ll also be offering Manchester revision courses.”

But what about those searching for a Cambridge revision course run by Exam Confidence? “We’d love to be in every centre, but we’re still a young company and we’re also limited to the number of chief and principal examiners there are for a subject,” Richard replied. “However, we are looking into the option of providing courses in other regional centres.

“In the meantime, anyone looking for a Cambridge revision course or Oxford revision courses, I’d strongly recommend a quick trip down to London. Our centre in Albion College, Russell Square is central with excellent access. We have also organised for accommodation through the nearby London School of Economics. The revision centre will be packed with principal examiners delighted to pass on as many strategies and tips for exam technique as can be absorbed, for every one of our subjects. Our teachers have already received rave reviews from our courses run last year and I can promise you that it will be worth the trip!”
