This was easy to complete from home and informative. There was a lot of information not covered in my Level 2, so was good to have a better insight into how referrals work. This was the best value course I found, and I would use HSG-Elearning again.

The training was easy to follow and well constructed. I would choose to use HSG E learning in my yearly updates.
