Cheesemonger Ferro | Level 1 at The Courtyard Dairy

A massive thank you for hosting the cheese course that took place on Friday, it was very educational and perfectly ran. We really appreciate the time and care that was taken to run the course and efficiently teach us as well as providing us with the materials that we needed to help us all understand, I know we all very much enjoyed all the cheese! Simon was an amazing teacher and helped us with any questions we had about anything to do with the cheese!

Just wanted to say thank you for the great training session last week... Aileen and I both really enjoyed the training. Thanks again for your excellent tutelage. I look forward to learning more!

Thanks so much for your time and patience at the training on Monday.  I completed the assessments this week and passed my exam.  I know there's always plenty more to learn, but it's really great to support my business through investing in training, and even simply giving ourselves time to learn.

The course was immensely informative and interactive, giving me a greater insight into all things cheese. The way you described and presented the content, greatly aided the learning experience and has definitely helped me in my understanding and role. Thoroughly enjoyable day!

Thank you Simon for a great day yesterday. The day was really well planned and organised and you guided us through with your knowledge and expertise. The classroom experience allowed for really interesting and useful discussions amongst the group. A valuable day.

The Academy of Cheese Level 1 course is an absolute joy. The course content was pitched perfectly: detailed enough to learn a lot of new things, but never overwhelming. It was also great to have a full library of study resources to use both before and after the course. Naturally, the cheese tasting was a big highlight, with a wonderful selection to try, and the ‘how-to’ element was explained really clearly. Simon was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and encouraging — perfect for me, a cheese enthusiast new to the language of cheese. I came away feeling like I had a solid understanding of how cheese is made, as well as a much better insight into the whole cheese industry, from farmer through to cheesemonger. It was also brilliant to chat to other attendees who, along with Simon, made the whole experience truly inspiring — and, dare I say, left me hungry for more!

I have nothing but positive things to say about the course and the thing that struck me most was Simon's obvious passion about the subject and enthusiasm to pass on his knowledge. He did a fantastic job of keeping us engaged and answering any questions. I look forward to hopefully joining Cheesemonger Ferro for another course in the not so distant future.
