I can see where you are coming from, my personal preference meeting my own learning style is face-to-face teaching. However, some on-line courses are very good particularly those which include an assessment and a certification process. As I am both the admissions tutor and assessments officer for the London South Bank University Workplace Health Management and SCPHN courses I have to demonstrate that I have undertaken equality and diversity training. Diana Kloss is a visiting professor in our department and I have therefore attended a number of her lectures which encompass compliance with Equality Act. I thought that would be sufficient in preparation for our NMC review earlier this year. The university insisted I did the universityıs electronic training and did the associated assessment. The university training was generally interesting, a few bits that were not totally accurate in relation to pre-employment health assessment.(I must point out that Dianaıs lectures were actually much better!)
