Dipvandana was a fantastic trainer with depth of knowledge in all aspects and areas of the course content and was very helpful throughout.
Gerwyn M March 27, 2024
The iema user manual jumed around and needs updating so easier to follow
Hannah J March 23, 2024
Having completed the foundation cert, I found this course a huge jump up in knowledge and expectations. That being said, when I have completed the module assignments I am sure it will be of benefit and it has already enhanced my critical thinking in this arena. Whilst I understand the need for Virtual courses and the rise in popularity for various reasons, I am still adapting my own learning style to use this as best as possible. I am afraid I am still quite old school and like a classroom scenario.

Great delivery, engaging with a wide selection of working samples with open discussions
