I’ve worked very hard to ensure that the scheme is objective and not subjective as areas of the unit can be considered sensitive. All lessons are designed to be taught by specialists and non-specialists, no prior knowledge is required to cover the content. * Scheme should take between 5-6 weeks to complete.
