Testimonials
Sonia
“The court training skills offered by St Michael’s is so important. When I started here it really helped build my confidence about being in the court room. The trainers don’t take it easy on you and they really recreate that court room experience. It make you feel more in control when you are in front of a judge and barristers for the first time.”
