Testimonials
High quality training with engaging and relevant content. I enjoyed the style of delivery too. We had a small group and the style was highly interactive with lots of group activities and discussions. Not too much ‘chalk and talk’!
The lectures and group work were very good and the staff was very helpful. This was of a great benefit to me.
Enjoyed the different exercises during these days. A lot of discussions and that’s great. Also a very interesting city tour. Friendly and skilful hosts helped a lot.
