Attendees testimonials
Mike was a fantastic tutor, showed great knowledge. Made a difficult subject fun and engaging. I’m not normally one to speak up in a group but felt at ease and encouraged to speak and ask questions. Would recommend this course to everyone. Especially with Mike as a tutor.
Excellent course, covered all areas required to be a competent MHFA. Mike was a brilliant trainer, very informative and offered support and suggestions during the role-play exercises.
I am very grateful to have attended this course, it is extremely worth while. I am looking forward to feeling confident in helping people if and when they require it. I believe I will become a better all round listener and more understanding person in general because of the skills I have learnt. Mike was an excellent instructor, I feel priveledged to receive his tuition. Thank you.
