Customer Feedback
The course quality and the way the course was delivered was very engaging. Given we had limited time to get through so much content it was well presented. The teacher was exceptional and very approachable, knowledgable and really worked well with the students. - Michelle Lasorsa - January, 2011
Our tutor was excellent. Well prepared, passionate, personable. The course was great. There were lots of opportunities to explore different teaching methods and to work in groups with fellow students in order to discover what worked best in different situations.

I really enjoyed everything.
