I found the course helpful and informative. At first be honest I was sceptical – as I am 50 years old and it’s been along time since I studied. Once in the process I was fine and found through years of experience the answers came naturally. I would recommend the course to colleagues and would contemplate going further in education . It’s been a good experience.
