What attendees say
“I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course today and how useful it was. I’ve been working with a lot of organisations who are wrestling with moving their courses online and you guys are way ahead. And I particularly enjoyed how often you opened up the course for interactivity/discussion and personally I found your real world examples really brought the role of rep into focus.”
