“Mariebeth was absolutely brilliant, she answered any questions we had and we had a great discussion during one of our breaks on stigma. I really liked the way she taught, it didn’t feel like we were just being flung lots of information, she went through it in enough detail and used examples etc. I didn’t feel under any pressure and felt at ease the full time. She was brilliant and just a lovely person as well!”

“The trainer was fantastic – showed the reality and vulnerability of the current situation in Scotland. See the knowledge skill and passion come through. Feel confident having attended the upskill and really appreciate the time taken.”
