Welcome to Illuminate Consult

Important update from Chris Burgess at Illuminate Consult

Following my announcement last July regarding my serious heart condition, I am pleased to report that I am now resuming a limited amount of Illuminate work.

From the continued interest and messages from you, I am concentrating only on the ‘Person with Specialist Knowledge’ requirement (course and exam) until 2023.
Course availability will be limited so I intend to make best use of this time to maximise course throughput.

I have run a few courses this year and all is looking good. I am continuing to prioritise block/group bookings and host provided venues for my outstanding commitments certainly for the next few months.
I intend to run at least two Illuminate hosted open courses before the November season, one North, one South and will email out expressions of interest closer to the time.

If you have already contacted me directly over the last few months, my apologies for any delay in replying but I will get back to you in due course. My health means this is a slow but steady process.

Thank you all for your patience and good wishes and bear with me as Illuminate starts to get back up to speed.
 
Christopher Burgess
