Fantastic content, compact and to the point. Delivered wonderfully.
Far and away the best course I’ve attended in 20+ years of my career. Thank you!
Brilliant structure to the day. I enjoyed the interaction and the overall content.
The session was really great and informative. The tutor made a topic which could’ve been boring really interesting to learn about. He was also very engaging and responded well to questions.
It was exactly the kind of neatly packed info I needed to reboost my career in its early stages.
An invaluable course covering many useful topics. David delivered clearly and with humour and kept our interest throughout, thank you!
You were a breathe of fresh air in something that I didn’t think could be interesting and fun to learn about!
David was a brilliant and knowledgable trainer.
The session was full of good advice and helped me to regain my focus. It also gave me a chance to network with others who could give me the benefit of their experience. David’s delivery made what could be a dry, dreary subject interesting.
Superb – hugely knowledgable and helpful.

Wanted to thank you for all the information and advice during the course, some of the stuff I’ve learned I can implement super quickly and see rewards almost immediately.
I got paid straight away with David’s invoice tips.
Brilliant course. Great delivery. Factual, straightforward but enjoyable. Left feeling much more informed and positive.
Extremely practical, clear and timely advice pertinent to the situation. Book him again!
I really did enjoy and got a great deal out of your two sessions. You made both topics clear, specific and fun … It was your focus on the positivity of networking, that made me feel at ease … I attended Cannes [earlier] this year and there were a couple of times I wish I could have had a couple of key words from your session in my head!
Thanks for the workshop yesterday on freelance writing as a business – loved the work/life balance ideas.

I feel so much more organised and less intimidated now
David Thomas is a brilliant instructor and I appreciate his varied knowledge base as both an ’employee’ vs freelancer
Your style was so clear that I understood the financial side of business for the first time, and am now even feeling a little bit excited about the future!
The fact that the trainer has been a sole trader and gone through the process himself was great. He really knows his subject.
Excellent course. Very helpful and inspiring!
