Delegate Testimonial
Having managed a police investigative skills training department, I feel I am qualified to say your delivery was excellent. The unique delivery platform did not faze you. You were clear and easy to understand. Your enthusiasm for the subject was present throughout in the form of additional information around the half-life of Uranium and Marie Curie etc. You constantly tried to bring the less vocal students in by asking direct questions and where needed asking local expert knowledge
