“ I write professionally but had not previously attempted creative writing. The Masterclass was a revelation. We all received thoughtful individual attention for our needs and interests, Mark shared an apparently endless fund of tips, ideas, stories, quotes and poems to encourage our creativity. A must-attend for aspiring writers.”
- Elyssebeth Leigh
“ This course is an excellent and well-rounded introduction into counseling for those who want to either enter the profession or are looking to refresh their existing skills. John Le Mesurier (Lecturer) makes the vibe very casual and covers the basics of counseling and typical cases that are seen in the real world based on his many years of experience.”
- Anthony Nedanoski
“ This course (Forensic Psychology) was far beyond my expectations! Richard’s knowledge and experience in this field was extremely interesting and provided an insight into areas I was not aware. The way he delivered the course was entertaining and engaging. I will definitely be back for the Advanced Course!”
