Customer Feedback
Quality of the school and trainers were excellent. The course was extremely intensive but rewarding.
-Jackie Hall-
The school was great - fantastic students and location. The course was great and I've learnt a lot. I feel confident enough to be a teacher now after this month. The trainers were great - both seemed to have a slightly different approach but both were very encouraging and knowledgable.
-Tessa Okell-
The school was excellent and the trainers were very helpful and supportive throughout the course
