We are very happy with the programme and our learners are enjoying it. It is intense and requires thinking, time and activity outside of the taught sessions but this is positive and appropriately challenging. We are very pleased to see the opportunity to apply the learning in the workplace. For us this will help in our continuous improvement programme.
