We can offer one to one training and will never cancel a course due to lack of minimum numbers. We also have the flexibility of dates throughout the year and can offer weekdays and weekends dependant on venue. We have been established since 2007, and bring with us a vast experience of knowledge, with an ever growing team, we have training locations all over the South West and beyond, our head office being in Bideford, North Devon. Many of our training locations are in beautiful areas of the South West, and we often have students travel from far and wide to attend training and incorporate a mini break at the same time.

Our courses have been formulated for flexibility to our customers, so they are able to fit their studies in around their own work / family schedules and lifestyles, which much of the study taking place at home, in their own time, followed by fast track practical training, where applicable, to ensure they learn everything they need to know in that therapy, without the need for regular classroom attendance. This caters for all that have busy lives, all that they need is the self-motivation to take themselves through the homes study aspects, with tutors at hand throughout the entire course, available for any queries or questions they may have. Our tutors are available by email / telephone / skype throughout the course, so no student need to feel they are studying alone or are unsupported.

Many of our learners suffer from varying learning difficulties or mental health conditions and we have supported these that would struggle in a mainstream college environment. Their conditions ranging from dyslexia, anxiety / depression, lack of confidence.

We offer 100% customer satisfaction and will strive to improve on our services and products continually with the help of our customer feedback. We aim to respond to emails and messages within 24 hours of receipt, but often sooner, in between teaching and assessing. We have a student facebook group, where students can ask questions amongst themselves and our tutors, connect with each other and share resources, tips and advice.
