Feedback on this training has been overwhelmingly positive.
"Really practical course that gets you making improvements there and then to your website. My advice is to try and clear a space in your diary the day after as you'll want to get stuck into it and put into practice what you learnt. - Grainne Madden
"I found it to be concise, informative, and really well explained - I don't remember the last time I learnt something so quickly and painlessly. I am raring to go on our content. Thanks. - ISPCC
"I flew over from the UK the night before to attend the course but it was well worth the effort. The course has given me a totally new outlook to the web. I now feel well able to handle doing stuff on our website. Also I have a lot more knowledge on the best way to write up emails and PR pieces" - Judith Geare, Ocuco UK
