| "John was a great instructor. Funny, approachable and clear about how we should best approach our tasks.
The venue was spacious and very well equipped and even with 17 eager students John was able to get round to all of us and answer all our questions.
On top of that the refreshments provided were amazing and John managed all of that without being rushed or flustered."
