What will my learning experience be like? You will learn through:

• Pre-recorded videos sent out each week for you to learn from in your own time
• Live expert-led sessions every Tuesday. 2 live session times available (10.30am or 6.00pm BST) to fit your schedule
• If you miss a live session you can still watch it in your own time later on
• A multiple-choice exam to help you focus your learning efforts and assess your own ability. On passing the exam you will get a certificate to show others (e.g. managers or potential employers) that you have attained this skill.
