Very thorough and comprehensive course content for RVNs, with an engaging speaker who explains her slide notes, rather than just reading them! A great selection of further reading provided as well.

Amazing! Emma is super knowledgeable and the lectures are very detailed. I really liked that you were quizzed at the end of each lecture and given additional resources. The course being ‘flexi’ is also really great when you have a busy life!

Excellent! Really easy to fit around working as bitesize learning, hence I’ve stuck with Excel for 2 years now for CPD as covers a wide range of topics

Ruth Craig – 11/01/2022

I felt this course was extremely helpful, I have always struggled to understand ECGs and capnography in depth which is why I decided to do this course, I found it very interesting and will use the information I have learned in everyday practice.
