“[The facilitator] was extremely engaging, she has a great energy to her and did a great job at engaging the cohort. I enjoyed using a range of platforms to engage with each other through visual, verbal, and written formats as it helped to create an engaging experience. I not only learnt new skills but also built upon my existing ones. The entire experience was extremely well organised. Studying in the Live Online format with other learning peers helped create an engaging experience where we could all interact and learn from each other.”
