A refreshing change to the usual classroom revalidation I’ve done quite a few times now! Lisa was really helpful in getting everything set up, the online content is spot on, just what you’d get in the classroom. The major benefit being, you can complete it at your own pace. In a busy operation it’s always hard to lose staff for 2-3 days whilst they are off site training, this takes the pressure away from the business. I’d highly recommend DG Online and will be using them for all our training needs from now on.
