Recommendations
The course was extremely useful – I feel a lot more informed and confident to purse matters in the workplace. I like the approach – not ‘death by powerpoint’! Was never boring. About the trainer: 10/10, very easy to listen to, engaging and relaxed. I like the inclusion of group experience and advice too.
Janine Smith
Really useful course for my work. I work in HR in The Netherlands for a mid-large size company. It really showed me areas we aren’t doing things correctly, and where we can improve.
