"I just wanted to get in touch to let you know how useful and enjoyable the training was. It made me feel a lot less nervous and more prepared for the viva. I have recommended it to all my PhD friends. Thank you very much, I really appreciate all the effort."

"The workshop was really well structured and easy to follow - I came away with a focused idea of what would be expected, it minimised my anxieties! I think that Catherine was excellent, and I'd like to especially thank her."
