This sounds so cool! I’ve just recently embarked on some courses designed to update my qualifications etc and they are so intensive I seem to spend most of my time preparing and sending in assignments! My world is revolving around them now! lol 😉 But this course sounds great so I shall certainly be chasing it up 🙂
