Thank you for making a frightening prospect easier and understandable.
Jog Limited. I thought it was a very informative course. All content learnt will be used in my future work. It ran at a perfect pace for me, I wasn't rushed or left waiting. I will definately use Alex again.
Hays. Good course, nice, small class size. Found out all I needed from the course.
