Attended virtual course:

Ursula was amazing I learnt so much from her and she adapted the training so that it met what we needed. Id defiantly go to her again for training. She was so friendly and welcoming I felt at ease at all times, normally on training course I feel quite anxious about talking but I didn’t at all with Ursula.
