“Cassie was an exceptional Trainer throughout my course. She delivered with sharing some of her own personal life experiences and used these within the context of subjects that were raised during the practical components. A very lovely, warm and energetic person! I had a great experience with her delivery, taking from this I can implement within my own work practices.”
