What do former students say
“I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this course and it has definitely been the best post qualifying course I have been on. The content is so relevant and the standard of teaching really high. Whilst I won’t miss the assignments I am genuinely sad I am reaching the end of the course and will miss the learning and everything else.” Justine Bradney, Deputy Manager, Disabled Children Team, Children and Family Services, Newport City Council
