Course provided exact information I wanted to learn and was fit for the purpose I wanted. It was invaluable to study the first module - Counselling to learn the models and purpose of counselling which I was then able to relate to the bereavement part. The course challenged my understanding and the way I would respond. I have learnt to read between lines, to consider what peopel are not physically saying, not just to rely on the physical word spoken.

The recommended extra reading was incredibly useful ,even more practical than the course notes themselves .The course content was set up great though and the frequent evaluative questions and mini-courseworks were good for feedback and tracking progress and understanding

I would like to point out some of the links are not available anymore through course. The course content was very well presented and I could follow it most of the time.

More interactive assignments or perhaps more IT presented information would be an added benefit to the course texts and website.
