“I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot. Colin is an excellent instructor: I like his teaching style, very friendly and laid back but very informative and to the point. Good value for money!”

“I really enjoyed this course and learned so many of the things I wanted to. I genuinely couldn’t wait to get to the centre each day and was sad when it finished. There was good support and camaraderie from the other participants. Receiving a copy of the Big Blue book was much appreciated and provides excellent detail to work through outside the course.”
