A key aspect to our courses is for our delegates to gain the knowledge and solutions applicable to their own situations, so numbers are capped to ensure we have sufficient time for your feedback and early booking is therefore recommended.
The course leader set the tone for the day in the introduction. This created a good atmosphere for the course and a lot of the dialogue between the leader and the participants.
Well done guys, enjoyed the course very much. Thanks!
