Our teaching style
Some people learn more effectively with verbal, written or visual teaching, others are more practical and learn by doing.
At the outset of each course we make an assessment on what type of learner each student is and then teach the course in a way that maximises learning and retention.
It's taken over a decade of experience to hone this method and it works very well for most students.
After Care
We're there for you after the course has been delivered to answer any questions that you may have. We welcome emails or phone calls, sometimes we even have people sending photos to explain a question. Whatever it is, we are here to help.
