"It is definitely tiring, hard work, but it is also worth it. A much better way of learning."
Edmond Eilerts de Haan, DIIG UK Ltd. (20/1/2013 (Sunday) to 27/1/2013 (Sunday))
"It was intense, but it drove me to study hard. Expect a long week but worth it."
Neil Moss, EE. (20/1/2013 (Sunday) to 27/1/2013 (Sunday))
"The centre is great, class rooms are clean, and well kitted out. The books and stationary provided are brilliant to get you through the course, and the free refreshments along with the fact that you can access the training facility at any time day or night is brilliant. The instructor was great, really nice woman, very funny and not like any other IT trainers I've ever had before. I think that the whole experience would have felt a lot longer, and I would have been less engaged with another trainier. She also obviously knows her stuff and was able to provide real world situations to relate what we were learning to - which was great."
Chris Hannah, Mersey Care NHS Trust. (10/11/2012 (Saturday) to 15/11/2012 (Thursday))

Steven Oates, EE. (10/11/2012 (Saturday) to 17/11/2012 (Saturday))
