"It's set out to be understood easily, no jargon and down to earth.

I just found it incredibly interesting, and enlightening."

Nina Edwards

HR Manager, Automint

"I just wanted to mention how much we both enjoyed the courses over the last 2 days. Both days were really informative and everyone who delivered training sessions were excellent. Howarth's comes across as really good place to work, we were well looked after and everyone we bumped into were both warm and friendly."
