To ensure constant quality monitoring we have started the practice of asking our participants to fill out feedback forms to let us know if they had a positive experience, and if they found the course useful, as well as what suggestions they would have for improving the experience in the future.
We thank all the group participants who agree to provide their feedback, and we are very happy
As you will see below, all the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The feedback below is quoted directly from the forms. The language is not corrected unless it was necessary to ensure the correct grammar / spelling.

The one prevalent suggestion put forward by the course participants was to extend the course to 8 weeks, as opposed to 6 weeks. However, when asked in the group setting, the participants agreed that in the current economic climate the cost of an 8-week course would make it inaccessible to many. Therefore at present the Hazelton Clinic will keep all their courses at their current 6-week structure.
