b) Text format with video inclusions

We believe in order for you to gain health literacy in your chosen area of wellbeing so you are then able to support this occurrence in clients that a text with workbook is most effective. This format offers a better opportunity to deliver detailed and regularly updated content. Our texts are interspersed with activities (also available in a MS Word document so you can print or type into), videos and journal articles which are focused on taking the concept you've read and applying it in a real life situation. So you will always get a level of content that far exceeds most courses from us that is then dovetailed with visual and practical opportunities.
