About the course
"The variety of different things has suited us, we all wanted to go in different directions, sometimes we wanted immediate attention, and we have learnt to become independent – in fact I have learnt that I no longer need to ask how do I do this all the time, now I have a go and find out I can do it myself. Without this course you could be jumping into the deep end."
