“The content was very engaging as anything you didn’t quite understand in the classroom you were able to work out when you went out on site. The quality of content was high and linked to the real-life work environment.” — WK
“Great teacher with a great portfolio of notes and example booking sheets provided for each activity.” — EK
“I think it was very engaging, as it was a mix between practical and theory. Making it fun and not tedious.” — OW
