I do recommend this course for any health professional looking to learn new, or refresh existing knowledge. Ash B 4 days ago I found the course very informative and realised that there were many things that had actually changed/updated. I have now been able to put this in to action within my role. Sophia Hodgson 4 days ago Attended a vaccination and immunisations training course. The course itself was very enjoyable as the trainers were very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I feel like the course was informative, especially for those very new to the subject. However, for a registered nurse I feel the course could have been more in-depth (i.e. training on specific vaccines, baby immunisations, etc). Whereas, I found it was quite general. Good for beginners. Overall, I felt that the training was enjoyable and the trainers were great. Clinic Manager 1 week ago Great day of training, very informative and all delivered from an amazing trainer. I will be back for my refresher course. E E 1 week ago I had a great time and learnt a lot. The teaching, the trainer were so interesting that i didn't see the time going. I would definitely recommend. hayley Scott-Peter 1 week ago Signing up to the course was easy as was payment. On occasions help via email could have been a little more timely. I, plus 4 of my colleagues all had the same problem when completing the first course day and it’s tests. We were correct in 3 questions however you could not go forward until you put their wrong answer. This could not be explained by the instructor the 2nd day when we had to do the test again! Informative course just requires fine tuning. Faith PHIRI 1 week ago Everything was clear and professional taught Load more
