“I loved this programme and learnt a lot. Louise was very good and worked at everyone's pace. It was good to be able to share screens so we could see how she was doing it but also so she could see where we were going wrong and correct the issue. I have done course with WIB previously and every time I'm amazed at how much I have learnt and how lovely the facilitators/tutors are. This is definitely a course I would encourage and recommend to everyone.”
