    ‘I have been to this school for three courses now and I learnt a lot from each of these courses. The place is all open plan and has a kitchen area for refreshments and the people teaching are talented, stimulating and enjoyable to be around. The good thing is the course details often link to the teachers work and you can see they are skilled in their field. I would thoroughly recommend this place.’
