I really enjoyed undertaking the course and it certainly provided a great opportunity to reflect and develop my practice. The only thing I would say, which is in respect to my preferred way of learning, is that I would have liked the opportunity to have attended a workshop or been able to take part in online discussions on some of the areas, as I find discussion helps me with processing information. Whereas my learning was done exclusively by myself.
