Become a confident E-file Professional on the accredited one day Willow E-file Professional Course. You will learn how to use the most-loved pieces from the Willow collection, so that you are prepared for professional E-file use, no matter which system you use. You will be taught by Maria Giordano, our Glasgow Willow Educator.
You will learn a combination of theory and practical hands-on experience and you will leave ready to use your new professional E-file skills on your clients - safely and confidently.
Please note that you will need to purchase the Willow E-file Professional Course Kit to bring along to the course as this contains some of the key pieces you will learn to use on the day.
Online Theory & Face-to-Face Practice
The Willow E-file Professional Course features an online theory module that you must complete before your course. We recognise that face-to-face time is essential to learning the correct techniques and skills for mastering E-file, that's why we have removed theory from the day to maximise classroom time for learning practical skills. This is a unique offering in E-file education. By completing your theory online, you will have more time learning practical e-file skills under the guidance of your Willow Educator.
