I have never come away with so much knowledge from a course before. The trainer was amazing, the course was amazing, the way the information was given was amazing. It is quite a difficult subject and involved talking about situations that people may feel uncomfortable talking about but the trainer made me feel so at ease and explained everything in a way that I could understand. What I have learnt today won’t just be applied to my work life but also my personal/home life and I truly feel like I have come away with valuable life lessons that I will pass on to my friends and family. Thank you for supplying this training.
