I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it both interesting and professionally useful. It has been particularly rewarding to be able to apply the learning immediately within my own working environment and to reflect more critically on practices that I have developed through experience over many years. The course has given me a much clearer understanding of the formal IQA role and, importantly, has encouraged me to continue developing that competence through practical experience. Thank you for an engaging and worthwhile learning experience.

This is my second course with Essential Teaching, and once again they have not let me down. The quality of learning, resources, and support has been excellent throughout, which is why I have already signed up for one of their Coaching and Mentoring qualifications. Gavin and Gill have been fantastic, allowing me to work at my own pace and remaining supportive when my full-time role became particularly busy. Their guidance and encouragement made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.
