COMMENTS & FEEDBACK
(more teacher comments about the BCP Workshops)
“I enjoyed the applied, systematic, generic coherence of the programme and the sustained pattern of presentation with theoretical underpinning woven in.” (BCP Training at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007)“I am extremely humbled that I have met an educator like you. The excellence, precision, organized and structured way you present your work is something that I aspire to. You have developed a programme that is in touch with the needs of learners and educators and complies with the curriculum.” (BCP Training at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007)
