Gabriella Hutchings,
Group Outreach Co-ordinator

Andrew was a fantastic trainer, really enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable about the subject - a good trainer makes all the difference in 'soft skills' courses like this as they can often be boring and not very helpful, however I felt that I came out of this training with some valuable ideas which I could take forward into my role.
