Testimonial:

“I attended training yesterday at the Marriot Centre which was led by Tony D’Agostino.  I was exceptionally impressed with what he delivered and how – he gives history, science, practice issues, ... he brings the drug and the user/worker alive.

I chatted with others on the course and they all felt the same as me – they felt that they had really learnt and that the knowledge they had would help immensely in their practice.”
