Before we start this course, we will first look at what will be covered during the training. The course is divided into categories, and in each category there are a number of videos. You can pause, or watch again any video on the course and as we regularly update our courses you will be able to see any new videos as they are released.
This may be an online course, but if you have any questions during the course you can contact us by phone, email, or via the online chat facility.
