“The presentations in the folders did not follow the order that was presented by the speakers. Always best to check beforehand with the speakers the order of information as ideally it should match of presentation. This meant we were all looking for the slides whilst the speakers had started, meaning we often missed some important points.”
Priti Darjee, Associate Director Regulatory Affairs, UK, Teva UK Ltd
“Very good, I would recommend this course for beginners and advanced levels”
