    Very interesting course

  2. John Egan –

    The course provides a good overview of the topics and how they link together. I appreciated the references to real world implementation and to the gap which can exist between policy and practice.

    good course for CPD

    Well-structured, easy to follow and honest. By honest I mean in areas where ethical and regulation clash or where the environment is rife with unethical behaviour. Much practical help without creating another bureauracy. Thank you.
