Continuing Professional Development

"Dear Sharon and Kevin,
We cannot thank you both enough for having us at the inaugural Cardrona Terrace Estate CPD weekend. The concept is brilliant and the execution of it fulfilled our expectations several times over!! To clock up 6hrs and be able to relax in 5 star plus luxury with gourmet cuisine makes CPD more than bearable. As an extra that evolved, the situation of finishing the formal education session and moving to the log fire and on to a meal,wine and general repartee with the lecturer, and indeed both of you , mean't so much more to achieving the stimulation that is so often lacking from a compulsory educational requirement.
If you ever want to refer somebody to us for our views on the benefits of education combined with " Rippon, Mt Maude,or Guido" please do not hesitate to give the email of the very satisfied Ss."
Kind regards S and R, Christchurch, NZ.
