A good basic entry level course
As a person hoping to work in healthcare this course was very useful. I learned a lot about the basics and found the information easy to take in and well structured into short units of study. My only critique would be that one of the units seems to be in the form of a presentation where questions are asked but no answers appear. Other than that I found it very helpful and informative.
Very informative
I rated this course as the best. It touches all aspects i need to know about health and social care and it helps me to acquired more knowledge,learn, relate, and how to work with the caregiver,employer and every one around the work environment.
The only thing that bothers me is when I got to the questions, I was unable to answer any question in that box because it never allow me to,after clicking on it to answer all the question asked. Anything apart from that this course is very educating,interesting and informating.
educative and satisfied
never felt this fulfilling. everything knowledge here is worth it. i will recommend anytime, any day for anyone who needs to update their knowledge about care.
