What participants have said about this course
"Thanks also for a great course; high-quality presenters and the delivery by zoom was perfectly acceptable. In actual fact, for a course running over the weekend, I actually preferred it, as I could still get some of my weekend jobs done, like washing and other housekeeping!”
“The course has been amazing so far. My colleagues are also enjoying it. So far, so good.”
