Louise’s testimonials.

‘Great course! It has helped my confidence with dealing with potentially hostile situations. Learned in a supportive environment. One of the best training sessions I’ve ever done.’

‘Best course I have been on in 41 years of nursing.’

‘The team found the training extremely useful and learnt a lot around the topic and would 100% recommend this training to course to anyone looking into this.’

‘I now feel so much more confident in my job role after these few days training sessions. Will definitely recommend!’

‘I would highly recommend this training for basically any employee. It is relevant to dealing with conflict with external people e.g. the public, but also internal conflict with other staff. It was informative and well presented.’
