This training course was one of the best I have encountered in my 77 years of life experience. I came to the course because it was available and because I thought the “certificate” may assist recognition by health organisations in my work as a consumer. By the end of Day 3, all my expectations had been surpassed and I really appreciated that the course placed me clearly in the domain of consumer leadership and caused me to see my future role differently.
