Testimonials
-
RonaldPharmacy Assistant Diploma"A serious, useful and well organized course. For me, the most positive note is that it is able to meet the expectations of a complete novice in the field, and persons with previous and more advanced skills. Second, to highlight the work of tutors (absolute availability, answer questions and give answers very clear, and especially in a very short time) and the coordinator of the course (usual pursuits, a nice deal and I have valued most: a great ability to motivate students, something that, personally, I thanked a lot at various times in the course)."
-
Mary RPharmacy Assistant Diploma"Overall the course I liked it and I found it extremely useful. However, I believe that the time allotted to complete it is too short (as I imagine most have to complete it in our free time after work and domestic / family chores finished). I also believe that video sessions with Paul should be performed live whenever the course so all students can have more direct contact with the tutor and give us the opportunity to ask questions directly and not just in the forum is made."

AmandaPharmacy Assistant Diploma"I registered for this course just for little information on medicines for routine life. But I got to know a lot more than I expected. I suggest people who are going to give the exam should attend this course. It is very helpful."
