Cheryl - Mildura FDC
Jessica is a great trainer and really knows her stuff. Always great to get other peoples ideas about these wonderful little children we deal with every day.
A fantastic way to do training - doing in own time when you want is great.
Fantastic course and trainer Jessica is a gem!
Nadia - Benalla OSHC
I loved learning that we as educators are not failing, if we are trying. Makes me feel more confident in my approaches.
I found everything quite easy to follow and I liked that I could stop part way through and do a job, then get back to it.
I enjoyed the program and will definitely find lots of the strategies useful.
