Beverley, Leeds 'This was excellent and clearly met all of its objectives. The course was well planned and the subject matter presented in a clear, logical and interesting way.' 'Heather had very good subject knowledge and is a very good trainer. She used a number of different teaching methods and was excellent at putting the group at ease; everyone joined in.'

I've learned how to condense effectively.' 'Heather was very practical and helpful; understood the reality of taking minutes and not just the theory!'
