Amazing training, I have enjoyed it a lot.

What a professional way to meet new people, from diverse backgrounds, and learn new ideas and other people’s experiences.

I liked the location, accessible- next to the train station. Weekends were much better for me, in regard to parking restrictions.

I can recommend this course to anyone- in any profession or for career development purposes or as a mum, I have learned a lot in two days. Intense, and a lot to take in for two days though- however, it needs good reading and a lot of reflection.

It is an eye-opening, and I could use this knowledge as transferrable into my Newly Qualified Social Worker career.

The course is great! It gives me a great insight into how to look after small babies and help develop my career further.

– Nilma D.

What really captured my imagination during the maternity nurse course was the experience Julie had. She had a practical example to every question we had. And beside the course material, she also drew our attention to the use and implementation of the material in our future roles as maternity nurses.

– Ivette S.

I love what I have learnt through this program and would definitely recommend anyone wanting to do any of the above courses to do it with the London School Of Childcare Studies.
