Testimonial: 

Tilly Nelson, Tilly Nelson Photography - past course attendee 

"The Next Generation course gave me the foundations to understand how I could work for myself and build my own business. I started the course overwhelmed by my ideas but by the end of the course I had a business plan and I handed in my notice to focus on my business full-time. I couldn't recommend this course enough to anyone that has a passion to grow, be the best version of themselves and run the business they dream of".
