"The course is great!  I'm really, really happy with it, and I'm really glad that I chose the residential over the online option. Julia's great! She's an absolute wealth of knowledge. The setting's great and the people are so nice ! "

- Beth - Residential Purser Graduate

"It's lovely. I think the content is really interesting and it's presented well. The activities are engaging, and they actually really help to take in the information, which is nice. The group of girls is really nice to be around and to actually bounce ideas off of, so it's been really positive."

- Danielle - Residential Purser Graduate

" Great ! The food is amazing. We've been looked after very well. The house and the facilities are also exceptional. It's a very unique location, and I think it's a great setting to bring a group of industry professionals together and do such a course. It's great. Julia is an exceptional facilitator. Emma is just wonderful. So it's been good. Overall, It's a great setting ! "

 - Kiyra - Residential Purser Graduate

"It's really good, and although it's been so long since I've been taking notes and doing assignments, it's presented itself really well. Nevertheless, It is a lot of work, and then you just get a grasp of how much actually goes into moving the boat from point A to point B and dealing with all of the crew visas, passports, port clearance etc. So it's been great so far!"

- Catherine - Residential Purser Graduate

"It’s really good ! Everyone's so nice. And there's lots of information, but I think Julia is really helpful, so it's great." 

- Georgia - Residential Purser Graduate 

" It's the first residential course I'm doing in the UK and it's been so nice. Everyone was so friendly on the first day, and it's nice to know everyone's going through the same experience together. "
