i learnt so much...
Thank you so much for a wonderful course. I learnt so much on the course, way more than I ever expected. At first I was worried we wouldn't make every product I wanted to understand, but course has taught me not just how to make a specific product but how to formulate cosmetic products and the similarities between a conditioner and a cleanser.

Wonderful environment...
Everything about the course I enjoyed, from the location, to the people and most of all Tom. Tom made time for me in the breaks (and I turned up early one morning) to go through some questions that I had. The entire course has taken me from always buying ready made products to making my own confidently. I never originally attended the course with the intention to sell my products, but I am now definitely thinking of this for the future.

I feel so confident...
Excellent Advice, Excellent Location, Excellent Format and 3 days well spent.
At first I was worried about parting with £399 of my cash, but having attended the course, I can say it is outstanding value. I've had a wonderful time and it I now can extend my range of products to include some creams alongside my oils.
Thanks Tom for all your help and advice.
