Course testimonials:
- The tutor was very thorough. I really enjoyed and appreciated the depth he went into to help us understand what we were doing rather than just presenting a "formula" to follow. Robert C - Wynnum West
- The course is excellent! You will definitely learn a lot! Patrick is not only an amazing teacher but it is a pleasure to be with him in the same room. He is friendly, makes jokes, tells anecdotes, makes you feel comfortable, while being extremely professional. In addition, Yasmin was very helpful with the logistics, and the models were very professional. Thank you, and hopefully I'll be back to take another course soon! Sara. R from Woolloongaba
