CATS was introduced at the Smaps exhibition in 2019. Of all the colleges, we chose Canterbury for ourselves, as there were budget constraints and I did not want to overpay for the location of an educational institution in a large city. A special thanks to the company's employees for their help in preparing for the entrance exam and organizing admission. My son successfully passed the exam and even received a small discount on training. For your curation during the year, special thanks also!
