"Good course. Teachers demonstrated excellent knowledge, would recommend it! Accommodation was worth the money and Cambridge is beautiful."
"Very well organised course at a great venue. Troubleshooting (simple) problems can be added – for alarms / tubes etc during scenarios. Don’t change the venue!"
