The programme consists of four modules each having a recorded lesson, eLearning and live mentoring session.

The recorded lessons can also be delivered live, dependent on your preference of delivery. The benefit of live delivery is the interactive rapport between trainers and delegates being able to ask questions as they go along, the recorded lesson can then be used as a revision and review tool.
