A lot more involved than I thought. The placement book is like a thesis but wow you learn sooo much and felt supported. Julie Lin Pemberton was my fabulous trainer. She is kind, passionate, forgiving and a mountain of amazing knowledge. IT guys are fab and admin efficient. I highly recommend but take a deep breath it’s a long but rewarding journey.
