‘The trainer was very good and it was refreshing to be part of a workshop that can actually make a difference in the lives and minds of learners.’ (Metro North, 2010)

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training (January, 2013)

Practical demonstration of mediation. Louis is an excellent mediator and it really helped to see it demonstrated. Loved the dedication, enthusiasm and firm belief in worth of BC approach to learning. I really think you opened our eyes to new methods of promoting learning and especially development of language.

Metro Central Training: Western Cape Education Department (October, 2015)

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.
