I liked that this course was a e- learning course before the step 2 workshop. Its good to be able to log on and out when you can and fit it around home life and also you can do a couple of the steps and stop so its not too mind blowing all at once.I thought the course was great, easy to use and simple to follow saves so much time being able to access the course when and where you want rather than taking valuable time away from the workplace.It was very informative and in order. A lot of information.Great, much better than having to take time off to travel and sit through long presentations. I like e-coursesclear format.it was quick, good with the infomation that was given. You could do the course in your own time.
