"I arrived at Heythrop armed with warnings and general foreboding of people who had trodden the path before so had read the course manuals and played about with CRM before arriving.
The course is intense yet rewarding. 17 hour days were initially a shock but by day 7 are second nature. The instructor was top notch and full of real world advice. The attendees were from a wide range of backgrounds yet everyone pulled together for revision sessions which helped massively to pass the exams. In short, hard work but rewarding. One tip, do not arrive without preparing."
