Over the past few months we have put together an online, unmediated self-study course consisting of 5 video presentations interspersed with some exercises.
As it is a trial the course is free of charge to members.
Your feedback is important as it will help with the development of this and other online courses, so please leave feedback when prompted at the end of the course.
For further details click here.
After completing the course you may wish to sign up to our follow-on live online H&S session
