Zoe, North London
I heard about the course from a family friend and immediately become interested, I signed up for the pre session talk to see if it was something that I would like to start a career in.
Taiwo, Essex
This is my testimonial journey from when I began the training to where I am now. In November 2020 I was made redundant in my old role due to the pandemic.
Kay, London
I initially signed up to the tester for a friend, and whilst I was watching I realised that it was an opportunity I had to take for myself. The more I heard from the trainers the more convinced I was to make this investment for my future.
