Rachel Robinson"I cannot speak more highly of this course, I learned more in a few hours than after years in university. You are not only taught how equipment is used but why, which makes things much easier to remember. After brief introductions you get stuck in right away, everyone gets to practice with every bit of equipment our tutor described; without doubt this is most definitely a ‘hands-on’ course and a reasonable price too!"
