Testimonial

"I would recommend this programme to anyone that has to support clients who need to make a significant change in their lives. It helps to give support workers a perspective on why people behave as they do and the most effective ways of helping them make these important changes."

Christine Sakhardande, ASPIRE Programme Manager, Wirral Council Lifelong and Family Learning Service

"Fantastic pace. The course was absolutely brilliant and while I wasn't sure what to expect in week one, I was eager to see what the other weeks would hold. I wasn't disappointed at all. The weekly learning and putting it into practice was a great way to learn and then question the following week. The style, tone and delivery was great and really enjoyable. The encouragement open questioning and indeed the support was always there from Glenn. Many thanks Glenn.

Now when can I do the next one!!"
