The course gave me clear and accurate knowledge about Legal Highs, about consumers and their motivations and where they can be bought. The opportunity in the second session to teach the rest of the group really consolidated my knowledge and I feel fully equipped to deliver this course. The tutor is engaging and extremely knowledgeable. I recommend this course very highly.’ (Family Learning Service – Bradford MBC)
