This is the first online course I have done, I was worried at how I would go, but it went well. Having the printed book for reading and referencing made it easy. I didn’t need to access education guidance or support from tutors for this course. I am currently reviewing your site to see if there are other courses that I can enrol in. Thank you I have enjoyed this course
