Trainer has expert knowledge and centre is great place with great facilities.
The course was very in depth and made sense.
The training group was small which was more comfortable and relatable with each other.
The building was clean and modern and the free coffee was an added bonus. Thank you for two days if learning
Highly recommend☺️
Overall I would 100% recommend and I will be making sure all our operatives at work use The Hive π Many Thanks.
Then I did the face to face course today. Ian Bennington was friendly down to earth and professional, he put us at ease straight away. He explained everything clearly and made sure we understood what to do.
Highly recommended
Emma and Imogen kept a good pace and had fun.
I now feel comfortable and confident to deal with anything that could occur within my setting and look forward to seeing them again to refresh and retrain
