Educational Updates

With the appointment of Sarah (our educational advisor) confirmed this page will in the future contain an increasing amount of information on education and training for your benefit. It will supplement both Sarah's and the Director's (and the HSE's for that matter) visits to you as you conduct courses. These visits are not aimed at checking up on you per se, but rather seeking first hand student feedback in addition to the 'happy sheets' as well as ensuring that our clients see us out and about.
