Here’s what our students are saying:

Really great course, gives a good detailed introduction with the course content along with detailed suggested further reading to explore at your own speed.
Luke
There were lots of great examples to help explain and illuminate concepts. The glossary is also a nice touch
Zachary
Very easy to understand and accessible
Sophie
The teaching is excellent. It’s clear, precise and easy to follow. The knowledge from Sue is fantastic and it’s taught in a very understandable way with no rush. It’s been really good and I feel I’ve been able to retain the information well because of the way the course has been taught.
Max
I liked the course, it was very comprehensive. I’m surprised how much I enjoyed the online elements of the course, I thought I would do better in a face to face course but honestly being able to go at my own pace is really working for me as I can spend time on the bits I find tricky as they come up rather than making a note to look things up later… I like the YouTube videos, being able to pause or even speed up the video to match my pace works well for me. I do feel like I learnt a lot. I would 100% recommend the course to others
SC
Depth of knowledge was excellent.
Alister
Useful links, detailed information, great supporting photos
Claire
Flexibility and easy to follow layout.
Michael
I liked the ability to undertake the course at my own pace.
