More importantly, the content is designed to provide participants with the practical skills to provide a level of professionalism consistent with client expectations. It is highly “interactive” in design providing participants with the confidence to immediately commence work in the industry.

The course includes a range of assessment strategies and concludes with a final “open-book” examination with a set pass mark to attain the certificate.

“For someone like me, who hates being stuck at a desk, I found the course very interesting and up beat.  Overall – fantastic.”  Trevor O’Brien

Two day Face to Face Program
