Some of the reference links didn't work and one reference was to the wrong source.

The material was fine, but it was totally difference to the CBT course i did a year ago. So it was the TMA which i found some of the guidelines not very clear.

Yes, all very good. I would have liked a few examples of case studies where CBT was actually being applied - like an interview with the words of the person being counselled and the counsellor.

I was pleased to find an online course that I could complete as a distance learner. The course helped me to consider coaching from different angles as well as to deepen my understanding of my own coaching style. Course contents were easy to follow but I found the suggested reading and websites outdated. Many of the given weblinks do not work. The core text has a newer edition than the one suggested. Even course notes are dated as 2010 or 2012 and could do with a refresh - small things like updating submission instructions to allow for email, for example, would help make the notes more relevant.
