 This is what past participants have said:

“Thank you so much for the opportunity for an in house studio, a dress rehearsal, before we do a live interview. I feel more prepared, [the workshop] takes the nerves out of the idea of going into the studio. I would love more of this kind of training for my team members and for learner advocates“
