I feel it has made a significant impact on myprofessional development. The units were relevant to my role and helped deepen my understanding of leadership,safeguarding, person centred care and professional standards. I would especially like to highlight the outstanding support and guidance provided by my assessor. They were always approachable and ensured I clearly understood the requirements andexpectations of each unit. They were encouraging and helped me to be motivated and focussed. I very much appreciate the flexible support which helped me to balance my studies with work commitments. The resources, communication and overall delivery of the qualification were of a very high standard.
