COURSE CATALOGUE

"The day was excellent. By far the best CPD course I’ve been on in terms of organisation of the day, content and tools that can be used!So many things to try out and share with colleagues."

"It was very relaxed, informative, and inspiring."

"The range of topics covered was much wider than I expected, and I've enjoyed learning about areas of sound that I haven't come across before, as well as learning skills that I can apply to my job. I've enjoyed the variety of presentation style-teaching as well as going through examples in the studios. The pre-recorded videos were so useful to refer back to after the course each week. Daniel has so much knowledge and a passion for sound that has been invaluable, and he seemed to take a personal interest in helping us all individually."

"This was fantastic. It's the best training I've been to in decades. I wish there was more of an entrepreneurial focus in education. Thank you for the accessible format of the workshop."

"The combination of practical workshops, in person delivery as well as online content meant that even though the course ran for 3 hours a week, the amount of knowledge gained is substantial. "

“Fantastic workshop, brilliantly led by Erin. Beautiful and inspiring presentation and exceptionally well prepared and thoughtfully crafted "initiation" boxes for the attendees. The session was well paced and sensitively directed. Having lunch was a great bonus as well. It would be amazing if this kind of workshop could beheld regularly.”

"Very skeptical at first, but wow, I feel like I've had a brilliant time and learned tons. It is so good to actually do things instead of death by PowerPoint. Thanks x"

I liked being guided by such passionate people.
