“I found the eLearning training materials very good. There were times when I laughed out loud! The multiple-choice questions were a great way of testing my knowledge and I ran through these several times. The distance learning aspect definitely helped me absorb the materials better, especially as I could go over them as much as I needed.”

“My feedback on the programme is all positive. It was really well divided into manageable chunks and the extensive notes meant that I could concentrate and digest the sessions without having to scribble everything down. The notes are now excellent as an aide in my role and I have consulted them already! I did find the examination fairly challenging, but that is how it should be!”
