Really enjoyed this course - and not as easy as I was expecting. It is written in a way that requires you to think about the information carefully and seek out what you don't know.

The wording of the course is too vague, meaning I knew the right answers but the wording caught me out. Not very dyslexia friendly. Had good information though and I learnt new regulations I was unaware of.

Whilst I enjoyed the course, I was disappointed by the lack of feedback at the end of modules. It would be nice to know where I had gone wrong on questions after I passed the module. I also thought some questions were ambiguous and could have had more than one answer depending on how you interpret them. There were also questions asked not covered in the course materials, which seemed unfair. It might help to signpost to particular parts of legislation to revise, rather than expecting us to digest an entire Act at this level. But overall the content was very interesting and I liked how user friendly it was for self study. Will be doing level 2 shortly.
