All units have been written by KKTC and the learning experience is dynamic with video content, case studies and great resources (PDF’s and downloadable guides)
• The platform is dynamic so the experience is as good as it gets – touch of a button, responsive, easy to navigate
• As soon students submit an assessment, it is delivered electronically to our trainers for marking so the experience of progression with training is seamless (no waiting for assessments, mailing, scanning etc)
