Feedback from Past Students:

'I really enjoyed this course and would recommend to anyone.'

'Extremely knowledgeable. Was able to work the classroom with ease.'

'The tutor, Catherine was obviously a subject matter expert but also had a lovely nature and was happy to share her knowledge.'

'I found the course very satisfying and a wonderful introduction to millinery. The only improvement I would make is to perhaps to provide a clearer course outline and student notes / handouts.'

'Exceeded my expectations. Catherine is an excellent teacher, knows her stuff and really has got the program for this course worked out organisationally. Plus I cannot believe how far up the millinery learning curve she gets us – I learnt many more techniques than I expected to.'
