"The program was engaging and dynamic. A combination of webinar, self paced e-learning and the wide variety of reference material allowed me to consolidate my knowledge and scaffold my learning. The content was clearly laid out which allowed for great understanding, of particular note was the creation of the course assignment in relation to a ‘story’. I hadn’t attempted risk assessment in this fashion before, but found the method easy to understand when paired with Carlo’s guidance."
