Student Testimonials

Hear what some of our past students had to say

paul packard

“The syllabus was well designed, and the tutor, Ann Russell, was thorough and professional, providing a good level of one-to-one tuition in a small group environment. Ann gave many tips and pointers, many of which I recently put into practice while giving a presentation to a large audience at a conference in Panama City. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their public speaking ability.”

"I thoroughly enjoyed completing this Leadership Skills Diploma. Not only was it thought-provoking and immensely engaging, but also impactful. I learnt how to promote my unique business value by connecting and communicating at a deeper level and how to influence with compassion. On a practical level I have introduced coaching techniques in my interactions with colleagues and have gained confidence in my role as a leader. Sinead was a knowledgeable and supportive lecturer - full of creative energy that was contagious and motivating."
