Testimonials
Slides and scenarios given were very clear and helpful.
Very practical, Olive's expertise really shone through.
The breakout groups were very useful, to be able to apply the knowledge gained from the course into a situation and debate what the right steps to take was a great way to put the content of the course into a real world situation that could very possibly happen.
It was a very informative course and delivered in a professional manner.
