Feedback from post training evaluation: “I wanted to give you some positive feedback - I’ve done loads of courses and created my own online and this one was fantastic! It was delivered in an easy-to-follow format - the best part was going through the conversation scenario - I am a counsellor and I think this will really benefit those that are not trained in communication skills. Well done to the people that created it!” - Karen, Mentor
