Supplied quickly and easy to access - If ever I was confused/didn't understand anything, I liked how I could easily go back and revisit the modules/videos. This enabled me to fully understand what was being said/explained. I chose the self paced route as I sometimes struggle to follow live sessions/courses. I truly believe that by doing the course this way at my own pace enabled me to fully understand the content and to pass the exam first time. The course 100% met my expectations and happy to recommend to others - 5 stars!!

The training course provided everything that was expected with access to the course supplied really quickly from the point of ordering. It was the convenience of being able to access the course at a time that suited that I found most helpful. Not having done much structured learning for a while, this self-paced course was just about right. I would be happy to recommend this course and award it a 5-star rating for my overall experience.
