[The course] reassured me that my practice was safe, I knew my stuff and knew where to look for the things I don't use often.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and was actually quite sad it came to an end. The knowledge of the speakers was amazing, and I could have sat and listened all day - brilliant course. The practical side and assessment were well organised.
