Every session is recorded and is usually uploaded within 24 hours of the class finishing. There are also notes for each week, which the online session goes through, so you can catch up with the video and notes. If you have any trouble with understanding the video and notes, each delegate is assigned a mentor, who they can catch up with at a mutually convenient time if they have any questions. We are also healthcare professionals who work shift-patterns, so we can relate to your needs.

We are currently in the process of gaining CPD accreditation for the course. Currently all delegates are provided with a certificate confirming their successful completion of the course.
