"Excellent course with a focus on foundation topics to assist the novice and consolidate the knowledge of an experienced nurse within Pre-Operative Assessment. The online course provided a wide range of material. The module based course allowed the learner to complete the course at their own pace and at a time that is convenient. I really enjoyed the learning experience."
