REFERENCES: Fusi Nkoala – CCFM: “My native language is Sotho, so speaking English was difficult for me and coupled with presenting I really needed help. Barbara was very patient with me and accommodating (as I am studying and sometimes can’t attend class) she didn’t mind moving my class times around to meet my needs. She made me aware of my speech faults, pace and how when I am on radio I do the weirdest things – rebound at the end of a word. She really helped me achieve my goal of being a permanent radio presenter on CCFM. She is brilliant!”

Sisanda Nkoala – Bush Radio and Goodhope: “After completing my course I really wanted to get a slot on Goodhope, Barbara was so encouraging and inspiring and helped me each step of the way. She will go out of her way to help you reach your goals. She is very professional in all areas and it shows in her way of presenting the course material. She helped me reach my goal. Book a course with her today!”
