"I arrived with extremely helpful staff at the Willows. The facilities were very good. The training was insightful. My instructor was funny and gave us regular breaks. I learnt a lot of new things. Doing it face to face helped a lot as I could ask questions whenever."

"The SDF course is very heavily theory-based but the instructor did an excellent job making it as engaging as possible and cracked a few jokes here and there. I can definitely take away what I learned here at work."
