Great course to have a qualification…

Great course to have a qualification for and presented by a knowledgeable trainer-Allan was great and it was a pleasure to meet him. The venue was a good location with plenty of parking and lovely staff who work there. The room smelt lovely too! Nice that refreshments were provided alongside a mini fridge. 😊
