Our employee loved the soldering course and found it fully tailored to her needs.
The tutor was an excellent teacher, providing clear instruction and really useful hints and tip to take away from the course and our employee now feels totally confident to use the skills acquired.
The venue (Tutor workshop) itself was easy to find and located in the middle of the Jewellery Quarter (Birmingham) so ideally situated.
All in all we would give it a 5* ‘excellent’ rating.
