VERY PRACTICAL
I completed the Survive and Thrive Course Jan 2019. I would recommend this course to other members and give it 4 stars. The best part is that it
is very practical and deals with real-life situations you can find yourself in as a relief teacher.

BEST PART IS THE TIPS
I completed this course in Nov 2018. The best part of the
Survive and Thrive course
is tips like using
redirection and how to keep our emotions in check.
I would recommend this course to others. Some of the videos took a while to download.
