Testimony

• My name is Rosie and I'm an illustration geek. Despite being 42 years old, not speaking Spanish very well, working almost full time as a secondary school art teacher and having two children, last year I signed up for a postgraduate diploma in children's book illustration. I'm glad I did. It is one of the best things I have ever done. The tutors were AMAZING, not only fantastic illustrators but also excellent teachers. The other students' work was phenomenal, it was so exciting to go to college every week and see what they had created. It was hard, but it was worth it. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
