Alastair Hodge on the advocacy module was brilliant. He was very enthusiastic over the three days, honest about advocacy and what to expect in real terms if we were to proceed to go into that. The modules are easy to access, and the instructions are clear what you need to do on each of the modules. The certificates also arrive quickly after completion.
