“Good balance of theory and practice”

“The course is very clear and well laid out. The examples of inner ear photographs were really helpful”

“Information was on point and demonstrations showed a real professional touch without being patronising”

“Being able to practice on other students knowing you have supervision from very experienced Audiologists who can instruct you in the correct way of doing Otoscopy and Impression taking had been one of the many strengths of the course.
