Mark M
United Kingdom, Vocational training

Overall
The course was for 10 months and blended learning. It was a mixture of classroom once per month, distance learning and online preparation for assignments. Tutor was brilliant and full of knowledge of learning and development and coaching practice.
The workbooklets and text book had lots of information in it that you can still refer to, today.
