Diabetes Risk Awareness Course Feedback

Libuse Lysova
Dublin, Ireland

Thank you very much for your congratulations on the successful completion of the course in Diabetes Risk Awareness. For me, a foreigner who cannot speak English well, it is particularly important to obtain a Grade A pass. I hope I can also study my other courses successfully as well.

It is the first step to my new career. I am just 55 years old, but I think that it is never too late to start doing something that people are interested in. Thanks to your school I can, like many people from around the world, fulfill my wishes and dreams.

I wish you many happy and successful students, and therapists, who also bear the seal of the School of Natural Health Sciences to their clients, and transmit the knowledge and experience gained.
