How it works
My time on this course has been an amazing experience from start to finish. Learning technique in every discipline while also learning about the practitioners behind these techniques, really gave me a clear understanding to move ahead with my career. Also, the people you meet on this course are from all ages, all backgrounds and you'll make friends for life very quickly - I will use my skills that I have developed and grown on the course, in all areas, to use to my advantage as I go into the next stages of my life."
