Distance Learning

This course was delivered through distance learning - did you find this a good arrangement or would you have preferred a different mode of delivery? Please comment either way.

Yes.
Happy with distance learning set-up, but I would have benefited from a 'check up email' within the first two months to ensure I was on track to pass the stage assessment first time.
