"Excellent training from NSMT on ACEs. The session was highly responsive, with Nic actively listening to what individuals wanted to take away from the course and consistently referring back to this throughout. The training was extremely helpful, with clear, practical strategies that can be implemented immediately to support pupils. It was engaging and interactive without pressure. Despite being delivered on Zoom, it was more engaging than many face-to-face courses. Thank you!"

“Great training. We feel like we have an arsenal of strategies to implement in our setting. Nicola was amazing! I would highly recommend.”

"What a wonderful and useful course this was. Excellently led by Nicola S. Morgan, there were so many intelligent approaches to reaching the anxious student - devices that will most certainly be utilised by myself and my team. Thank you so much!"
