Multiple choice questions and short answer questions are interspersed through the 5 modules on each course, and are based on the content you will have just seen; 2. Each module requires a short reflective piece, asking you to think through how you will apply the material you have just learned to your own learning environment; 3.

From our clinical experience we have decided to bundle these courses together and offer them at a reduced price for customers who wish to take more than one course.
I want to take two courses that are not offered as part of a bundle, can I get these at the reduced bundle rate?
Customers are welcome to purchase courses separately, however if they are not offered as part of a bundle, we do not off them at a reduced rate.
