Taranaki DHB
"...throughout the session everyone received attention and their needs or queries were dealt with patiently and thoroughly. Kathy was sensitive to each trainees needs or their hopes to take with them when they left that day. The premises were excellent. We were absolutely catered to well. (I wish we had similar facilities at our own organisation). Thank you again and I would recommend this course with Kathy as trainer to anyone who needed this preparatory aid. Thank you again."
