Reviews

The whole session was amazing overall however I would have loved a second class or longer sessions to perfect the techniques that were demonstrated to us.
Judy

I was really impressed with all we learnt. And loved leaving at the end of the day with certificates to show everyone. Can't wait to get a job and use my new found skills.

I really enjoyed the course. It was and intense couple of sessions, but a lot fun and totally enjoyable. On the downside (on it's only a small downside). I felt that the course/s needed just a bit more time (approx 1/2 hour each - it just felt rushed and not enough time between exercises to catch ones breath) and class size and/or space. With a full class, when everybody was completing their practicals, space was really tight near the machines etc and at times a tad squishy. These comments were also passed onto the provider. These are just small comments to help improve the course going forward. Apart from that, an outstanding course and experience :-)
