When I decided I was going to do my IDC, it was never a question of where I would do it because I'd heard so many good things about Holly... read more and everything they say is true! Holly was amazing throughout the course, so patient, so helpful and so experienced. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was challenging but in a great way. We had a bigger group than I expected (16 of us) and I was initially worried that I would miss out on some individual attention but Holly and all the staff instructors were super friendly and always there to answer questions and help with anything I needed. The course was well organised and I felt so perfectly prepared for the IE! Big thank you to Holly, Ed, Justin and Cam, Britney and Indi!
