Thank you for having such an inspiring course,once I started it I could not stop. Well structured, easy to understand, the videos provided really helpful. Having a mentor and a forum to go to helped me grow confidence that I could do it. Hope I can do the course justice and apply it to real life. I am working at a salon one to two days a week now and loving it,the things I have learnt from this course are all handy material I can reflect on later.
