Lovely feedback from happy participants
"..short note to say how useful and informative the recent workshop was...".
" ... being still fairly new in developing the travel trade business, I found the day very enlightening and now understandable. Susan Briggs was an excellent trainer."
"it was a great refresher and also really good for getting the inspiration flowing in terms of relating the theory to the reality of my current working role. I had a look over the day's notes and already fresh ideas are bubbling away!"
"to tell you how useful I found your 'promoting your website' course..I have been invited back for a second interview next Monday. What I learnt in the course, together with your excellent notes, were invaluable for the presentation I had to prepare as part of the interview."
" the seminar was stupendous. We all learnt so much."
" an interesting and truly inspirational day"
" take the opportunity to thank you for your talks on Tuesday - I found the day very informative. The topics were covered comprehensively and in a way that kept our interest alive throughout."
