Dear Marie, thank you very much for the feedback and insights I have gained in this course (through you).

Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)

Marie was very helpful and advice offered readily via email or zoom. I would have preferred more interactive online work but other than that the course work easy to follow.

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.

The course really helped me get myself together. I registered for a course soon after losing my brother and I was going through a hard time. The tutor was really helpful in guiding and giving me some direction throughout the course
