  • When I first found Ulleo, I was a little sceptical because it kind of seemed too good to be true. But here we are, it is true. I've found it to be easy to navigate and use, I personally haven't needed much help throughout my course but from what I have seen through the Ulleo Lives, the mentors are really nice and helpful.
