Q: How many people attend the course?

Our courses are boutique and are specifically designed to encourage interactive learning and discussion. In our experience, the most value is gained from courses where the number of delegates is limited to a small group, so no more than 10 attendees. In this way everyone gets ample opportunity to ask any and all questions they may have.
