I just wanted to drop you all an email after finishing the course with you. As you all know, I had ITEC qualifications from before, I spent about 11 years away from the industry and decided to get back into a job and an industry that I loved. The course content, from day one was second to none. The in-depth coverage of topics was at some points overwhelming but digestible. The in person delivery was brilliant and something that was not to be missed. The implementation of the theory in practice sessions was something I didn't experience before. Overall, I'd just like to thank each and every one of you for everything, your guidance, advice and encouragement during the course. I can now safely say that I'm super confident in my ability going forward in the industry because of all of you, so thank you for that.

We completely understand that life happens. Our CPD courses are short and often run over just one day, two mornings, or a weekend. Because your spot is planned and reserved in advance, we’re not able to offer refunds for non-attendance.
However, if there’s a medical reason and you can send us a valid medical cert, we’ll gladly reschedule you for a future date. Otherwise, we’ll do our best to find a spot for you on a later course – but this isn’t always guaranteed. If in doubt, just get in touch – we’re here to help.
