helping me make decisions on the way forward and where to focus the budget
"the three courses I attended "Project Management", "Renovation projects " and "Managing your Energy Efficient Home" are helping me make decisions on the way forward and where to focus the budget. Thanks to all for an excellent series of courses.”
a great presenter and communicator
“It's a sign of how good this course is that we have no house to renovate but still found it hugely beneficial, full of information and know-how that we can now apply to the wider task of house-building [...] A wonderful course, thank you!”
