Piers is an exceptional trainer – the course was neatly divided up into sections that were easy to follow and included practical, hands-on exercises. I feel I have consolidated my knowledge and learned a lot of new things which I'm excited to apply to my own role. Thank you so much for your time and patience!

The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, flexible and responsive to the group's needs despite group members' different backgrounds, as well as up-to-date on industry trends. The group was small and, to me, ideal for learning and participating in the course discussions. Lunch surprised on the upside and very good.
BF Freelance
Helen was great at getting engaging debate and conversation going; the small group size of 3 helped this as well. The course has been a brilliant introduction to sub-editing; Helen's expertise and experience really came across. I enjoyed the mix of working through practical examples individually followed by group discussion, creating a collaborative feel. The venue is a great setting as well - the staff are so friendly (even letting me borrow an iPhone charger!) and the regular breaks with refreshments and delicious lunch were perfect opportunities for more discussion about the industry more broadly. Highly recommended! Thanks Helen :)
