Hear what our learners had said…

“I attended the Autism and Learning Disabillity training course with Andy and I found this to be a very interesting and a very helpful course. I have put to use what I learned already today with an Autistic patient whilst on duty. I found it personally helpful. I just wanted to feedback how helpful Andy was and for giving me a better insight.”
