Real Stories From Our Learners
I have found that I know how to listen more deeply and effectively in both my job role as a support worker and my life in general / personal life.
“
Got a wider knowledge base of infection prevention and control, really great course.
“
Diabetes is very common in my immediate and extended family and I did not realise the severity and far reaching impact of this condition until undertaking the course.
“
I really enjoyed my course and I had great support from my tutor. This is the first course I have done for a long time but getting back into studying has given me an incentive to do more.
“
I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor. She provided clear, constructive feedback on every assignment and always took the time to explain how I could improve. Her suggestions for further reading and research helped me deepen my understanding of the subject and expand my knowledge beyond the course content.
“
I will use this qualification to launch my men’s mental health sessions, giving many men the opportunity to benefit from what I’ve learned throughout this course. I plan to continue expanding my knowledge in counselling, as well as deepen my research into men’s needs for talking therapy and safe, supportive spaces.
“
The course has given me more knowledge on a variety of different mental health disorders which was very interesting and helpful.
“
Supported my perspective of mental health, which will support my work within the ambulance service - more person centred approach to care.
“
An excellent course giving a detailed insight into children and young people’s mental health. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and once I started I couldn’t wait to start the next unit. My tutor marked my assessments quickly and gave constructed feedback. I’m looking forward to enrolling on another course.
