Course testimonials

Des said: Rob Mchugh was excellent! His methods of teaching and communicating all the knowledge he has gained over 40yrs was brilliant! And so entertaining in the way he went about it. Rob gave us plenty of anecdotes and real life experiences to demonstrate the points he was making. He has given me the tools to becoming a better person, and for that I am truly gratefull!
Michelle said: Rob is quite possibly THE most engaging, knowledgeable and plain funny tutor I have come across. I've learnt so much from him in such a short space of time, I found myself wanting to come back for more, but unfortunately the course was only two sessions long. Thank you Rob!
Alisha said: Rob was great. Really engaging and gave some useful tips and tricks.
Cecilia said: Good tips and practical for work.
Chris said: I enjoyed engaging with other students in our quest to be better presenters. To this end, Rob provided an effective and pleasant atmosphere to work in. Rob exchanged valuable insights and methods for me to work on. As you would be aware this course could be offered over a period of weeks to gain extra competency, and I would not hesitate to continue with Rob concerning this training, notwithstanding I strongly recommend this course in its current format. Nice work indeed ! Chris
