On the Manchester course:
"Doing this course has involved a lot of work, some was new and other was gaining an understanding of issues in far more depth. It has helped me so much I have been successful in getting another job! The course gave me huge confidence which I am sure helped!"
On the Cass course:
"I would like to say just how good I thought the Cass course was earleir this week. I have come away with loads of ideas and food for thought. I have already briefed my Chairman and Chief Executive who are keen to work on some of the ideas. I would strongly recommend this course to any Trust Secretary."
