"I was welcomed by the course tutors, Dave, George and Kev and felt that no matter whether I was having a good day or bad day, they let me work at my own pace. The tutors are always there to talk to whenever I need them. The course has helped give me experiences and opportunities I wouldn’t have been able to get from school. HITZ has really helped guide me."
