Lots of practical exposure and low student to tutor ratio allowing personalised feedback.

Excellent for all levels of training/ career. Anatomy demonstrations prior to blocks really helped cement things.

Excellent use of several different learning and practicing techniques to appreciate all aspects of each block. Load of practice needling, especially the AI tech was really helpful and very easy to use!
