TESTIMONIALS• … Thank-you to you and the moderators, the course (or at least those levels that I have worked through) has been a real boost, and has given me a lot to think about. I am a little more prepared than I was before!• … I really want to finish this course, and I am wondering if the ePCoP MOOC will stay online for a while longer. I realise there will be no forums etc, but just to work through the information will be more than useful.• … Thank-You for Everything!
