 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The course content is systematic and progressive. The demonstrations made the learning more concrete. The role play sessions with Orego AI are interesting and useful, so although this is an online course, I am able to practice what I had learned. The 2 different format of quizzes - MCQ and open ended questions gives variety to the method of assessment and also allow the learner to think about his/her responses. The couch sessions are a useful way of having Jeanie on a FAQ without her being present physically.

The lady who introduces the varies sessions felt more professional in the last the sessions when she wore a blue demin jacket with short manicured nails and spoke slower. She has made an effort to maintain eye contact with the camera/audience to look more natural. Great job!!

I've definitely learned more about Play Therapy from this online course. I can imagine that the in person course will be more engaging and interactive.

Chanced upon this website offering e-courses that were Skills Future fund deductable - and since its based on a set of e-learning at my own pace - i tried out this course - Supporting Students with Autism in Mainstream School (Level 1). Loved how simple the flow of information was for parents like myself to follow, and the trainer - Cindy Kua was very good and clear in all the explanation. I learnt much from it and highly recommend to any parent/caregiver/teacher who would like to better understand students with ASD and their struggles in Mainstream school.  Thank you Cindy!
