After initial concern as to how I would fit the coursework into my busy life I am so glad I did this course. I absolutely loved it!
Shane the tutor was incredibly knowledgeable, clearly passionate, and gave clear constructive feedback where needed. I am now running sessions in school and thoroughly enjoying them alongside the children!Debs - KS2
