Course Tutor – Pauline Williams
Pauline started as an Early Years Educator after receiving an MA in Early Childhood Studies from Roehampton University. She subsequently spent several years in various roles focusing on Early Years education, and in 2017 set up her own consultancy.
The experience she gained, allowed Pauline to consider the future of Early Year’s training, with a goal to provide the best outcomes for learners and the children they looked after.
Pauline uses forward-thinking techniques to breakdown information, and regularly challenges herself to continually make her training more engaging, memorable and applicable.

"After taking the Common Core Skills course I also decided to take a maternity course after my very positive experience with HATA. All the trainers were so professional and had lots of experience in their fields. It really gave me a newfound confidence in my skills, especially after my boss went on to have a second baby."
I have completed all my training through HATA (apart from my Hypnobirthing Practitioner) Sleep Training, Healthy Eating, First Aid, Maternity Nurse Training and the OFSTED Course. I have made a lot of friends through HATA a lot of which I speak to on a daily basis. I will continue to promote HATA to all my friends and those in this profession. I can honestly say that every course I have done with HATA has affected my profession in a good way. I have also made so many life long friends.
