What our students say
"The format of the course was excellent with the two week gap before the exam. Since the exam I have also successfully completed a
competency course in audiometry. The knowledge I brought to this from the Noise Assessment course was extremely helpful."
Mike Abram
"I found the course material to be coherent and well presented. The informal classroom tutorials were most helpful in explaining and simplifying the technical issues associated with the subject. The course tutors were approachable and eager to assist with any difficulties or misconceptions I encountered."
