I would highly recommend Emarketeers as a training provider. Firstly the Wallacespace venues they use are fantastic. They provide everything, and more, that you could possibly need to enjoy your training and stay alert. The tutors are experts in their field and the groups are small, ensuring you get exactly what you want from the day.
