Delegate feedback
Well delivered and well run course. Very informative and non-judgmental environment
Really helpful having speakers who have actually been involved in the development of the exam. I found it especially helpful being able to practise and observe others doing cases in the format and timing of exam, with feedback after.
The delivery was excellent, all of the speakers were enthusiastic, reassuring and gave very good clear feedback
