Testimonials
It was a great experience. The management was good. I had a good experience and a safe space to talk about my doubts. Everyone was great and supportive. I didn't feel judged for a moment. I enjoyed it very much. And in this course I could work on my social anxiety too as I wasn't able to talk to people earlier. But now, it's much better than before!
