"The manner in which the tutors (Jon Heaps & Mohammed Riyad) delivered the course was a great mix of the tutor leading and the class members feeling relaxed enough to provide answers without being prompted. The tutor signposted the class to relevant online material, links and cases. He delivered the class at pace and where a member of the class was unsure about the course content he ensured he took the time to answer their queries "

"Overall, it was a valuable experience. At first, I found the content quite heavy and struggled to keep up, especially in the early stages. It wasn’t as interactive as I had hoped, which made it a bit challenging to stay engaged. Looking back, I feel that incorporating more interactive elements, such as quizzes after each lesson could have really helped reinforce learning and kept us all actively involved. That being said, as the course progressed, I gained a much better understanding of the material. I’ve learned so many useful skills, and my confidence has grown significantly. I now feel much more prepared and excited for the future! A huge thank you to our tutor, Martin for his support throughout the training."

"My 12-week journey has been nothing short of fantastic, thanks to the accommodating, resourceful, and helpful team. Starting back in December 2024, this experience has included other in-class training courses, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the delivery and interaction. Special thanks to Emma, Avril, Romana, Maria, and especially Shahi Wadan, our amazing instructor. His demos throughout the evening classes, understanding of personal circumstances, and the availability of recorded sessions have made this journey exceptionally smooth.
