Customer Feedback
The school was pretty good and it has all the facilities that enhance learning. The trainers had been very kind and helpful to all trainees.They conducted the course with high professionalism. I learnt a lot from them!
I think it was a successful course.Though I have been teaching for almost twenty years, I found out that a lot of teaching techniques and methodologies were lacking me.
