Exercises
This course is also available in a 1 day Flexicourse™ format. Flexicourses are intended for use in customized solutions as supplementary information to support the prime subject of study. They are abridged versions of the full duration level 3 course and whilst the range of topics covered is similar, there is less depth and any exercises are omitted.
