Incredibly happy and deeply grateful for everything
I completed my IDC at IDP and stayed for six weeks - and what an amazing experience it was! The quality of the instructors is exceptional; they are highly professional and teach not only everything you need to know but also ...You won't regret doing your IDC with them!
