The Modules cover mainly Harvard and instead of covering it in one long session, you will be able to work through the modules at your own pace to learn about it. If you forget anything you will be able to go back and look at it again if you like. The Modules start at a very basic level moving up to Level 7.
There are tests in each of them which you will need to complete before moving onto the next one. If you feel you are struggling with it, then we will be offering either group workshops or one to one sessions depending what is needed. Each time you complete a module successfully you will receive a certificate.
