Why сhoose face-to-face learning

Ultimately, however, it is a balance of practicality and choice when deciding the means by which the session will be presented. Subject to these considerations, we generally suggest that if evidence is likely to be given in person, in person sessions should be arranged, and vice versa for remote evidence and sessions.

In any case, our courses focus on the method of delivery most likely to be undertaken by attendees so they are able to provide their own evidence in the most effective manner.
