A useful and informative module presented in an easy to use format.

This course is an excellent foundational course which would be able to be used by people of many ages.

Gender Transformative Practice Masterclass

I thought the course was great, very useful and beneficial with the current requirements for gender reporting (Gender Equality Act).
