· The questionnaire has been designed to help us to understand a bit more about you before we invite you by email to join a free, interactive 2-hour training with Paraffin.
· On completion of the questionnaire an email will be sent to individuals asking you to complete a small task which will be submitted to us prior to the first training. You will also be asked to engage with our website as there will be a quiz with a cash prize at the training day
· At the end of the training, three tasks will be outlined, of which you will select one to complete in your own time to submit to Paraffin to deadline.
