The course was good with all the content that I wanted. The trainer, Penny was excellent.
Allan Watson
The teacher is excellent. I was worried that I might not be able to cope 10 hours studying a day but the teacher made the time flew.
I have learnt new techniques of teaching. It was my fantastic weekend. I couldn't believe I had experienced many things in just 2 days time.
I enjoyed everything! Especially, the examination!

The quality and experience of the trainer was superb; I felt as though I was getting the best training from someone that is extremely knowledgeable not only from her particular experiences of teaching but was also helpful in all other possible areas.
The course was excellently delivered and the material covered extremely valuable both as a training opportunity and for future use in teaching.
