TESTIMONIALS

We’re very pleased to be able to share some feedback from past students

‘Informative, interesting and all within a relaxed and professional atmosphere. Great basics for anyone new to the trade but many tips that I think the most experience frier can benefit from.’

Reece Head, Fry Monthly

‘I would just like to thank Nigel, Gordon & KFE for outstanding teaching. I feel that this course has been very helpful. 10/10!’
