Hello David, I'm not sure how to say thank you without it sounding too ‘slushy’, but I just want you to know how much I enjoyed the course, the wealth of information you have given me, the vast experience you have shared and the delightful presenting style you have. I am so enthused about starting my new venture. I have grown in confidence. I really did choose the best training organisation in FOIC.

FOIC's on-line course provided me with the perfect foundation on which to build my celebrant business. The courses modular structure is well paced and thorough. I enjoyed the breadth and quality of the content, it is cleverly divided between theory and practice, providing exemplar, flexible training in a full range of civil ceremonies. It inspires further personal research and preparation, working motivationally to encourage and support learning excellence. By not shying away from the sometimes harsh reality of running a business, FOIC's approach is as helpful as it is refreshing. Before commencing the FOIC course, it was with enthusiastic trepidation that I saw myself as a celebrant. Now, thanks to David and his team I can begin my celebrant journey, confidently, eagerly and with a smattering of creative zeal, safe in the knowledge that I have been professional prepared, supported and encouraged. It is with gratitude that I can now call myself a member of the very excellent FOIC family. BB (Dubai)
