“I wanted to thank you for all the help you provided me in getting back into employment. Your course was so well put together and the teaching by Ruth and Olly really helped the learning.”

“This was different from any other course I’d been on before. I went into it thinking it would just be the basic interview skills, CV writing, etc., and then I’d be on my way. But it covered so much more.”
