Our 2024 course participants said:
“I am so pleased that I took the plunge and signed up for what turned out to be a most enjoyable course. I have learnt an enormous amount and Jane opened my eyes to all the subtleties of how to be a good caller/MC. I look forward to trying things out sometime soon.”
“Many thanks for the Basic Skills teaching course. I found it immensely useful and could see that others did too. It was great to work with them, to learn from the many years’ experience accumulated by you, Jane, and by Ken, and to have fun whilst doing it.”
