"I have thoroughly enjoyed completely this Diploma, it was something that I thought was out of my reach.
My Mentor’s kind words every step of the way has been encouraging and motivating. I certainly found the last two topics the hardest to get motivated to do, as life certainly got busier and procrastination kicked in. I have finished just in time for the festive season."
