I recently attended a course in Dubai lead by David, which I found to be engaging and insightful. His training method is both practical and modern, which was refreshing. I would highly recommend REALISE for corporate training of any shape or size.

I have worked with both David Preston and Richard John from REALISE on several clic+ events that the College runs for Event Organisers. Their professionalism and knowledge is second to none and their willingness and enthusiasm to support these events and the events industry is wonderful. Not only have they facilitated the clic+ events on several occasions, they’ve greatly contributed to the content ensuring the events are current and relevant. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
