Some feedback on our courses

• “I have really enjoyed the course, I feel that I have learned so much, about myself, my confidence has grown and I will continue to work on myself, and the tutors have taught me well, I have understood clearly.”
• “A stunning course that has done so much to give me an idea as to what keeps me imprisoned within.  A course that not only gave me an insight but may also have indicated a potential employment direction.  Course leaders – simply excellent!”
• “I have loved being in this group (even as I was scared to be in it to start with) and the range and depth of material shared and our conversations.”
• “I now feel that I can confidently mentor someone, I now have the skills to know how the process of mentoring works. My confidence while on this course has increased considerably. I have understood every topic covered and have taken it in and cannot wait to use it in my professional practice.”
• “Skills gained – using different hand tools and the knowledge behind them, i.e what they are used for. Although the tutor has said this level 1 is basic, I’ve learned about tools and different types and conditions of wood.”
• “I have learnt how to do emails, cut, copy and paste, how to do bold and italic lettering, how to change font sizes.  I have really enjoyed doing the course and met up with some really nice people.”
