  "I recently completed my L3 CAVA with Kevin and ATDirect. Kevin made it very accessible and helped at each stage. He took time to assist wherever I needed it. The supporting literature and documents were easy to follow and I even learned some new IT skills on the way. If it was possible to give 6 stars I would without hesitation. Thanks Kevin and ATDirect."
