“Overall the course was a complete success, it surpassed all my expectations and it has only enhanced my passion for the built heritage sector further. Primarily, the range of practical skills we were taught were excellent. The manner and logic behind the approach to teaching the methods worked perfectly, as at all times demonstrations and explanations were broken down to very basic, easy to understand steps.”
