    I thoroughly enjoyed this course which has a great balance of teaching through presentations and practical group discussions. I would recommend this course to anyone searching for their new career, feeling isolated, and needing a boost. Not only do I have something to add to my CV, but it also gave structure to my day, lifted my spirits through interacting with the other students and Amanda (the course leader) and increased my confidence. I am thrilled to have passed the final exam and feel I have learnt a lot over the past few weeks, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
