“I enjoyed learning from the experts! Everyone on board was incredibly knowledgeable and also very friendly and willing to answer questions -this was appreciated! It was fun and interesting to learn about each different set of research methods and to get comprehensive details from the experts in their particular fields”.
“The staff on our course were great, all were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There were very happy to discuss anything with the students, answering questions beyond the course content.”
“Found all aspects useful enjoyed the hands on nature of the training. Valuable knowledge gained for further professional development.”
