Certificate in Grief and Bereavement
Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.
