"The course is well structured and steps the school fundraiser through the application process. The requirement to "make your case" is as important for the independent school sector as it is for the state sector. Excellent tutor support"

"I have been given the task of supporting other workers in the youth service in their fundraising and now feel much more confident in this role. Thanks to everyone for their tips and ideas and to Louise for her support and instruction. I would recommend this course to anyone who has anything to do with fundraising - it is invaluable and literally worth its weight in money!"
