Throughout the academic year, September 2015 – September 2016, many of our staff have achieved both professional and academic qualifications which we are extremely proud of them for. Sponsored by Plandescil, they have undertaken various part-time courses to give us a wider range of knowledge and expertise to offer to our Clients.
