  • Planning and preparation for studies

  • Techniques to improve team participation and efficiency

  • Managing complex and large-scale studies

  • HAZOP reporting and follow-up

  • "The course was very well presented , the learning portal very intuitive and material thorough and relevant to the syllabus. As I studied self led via distance learning this was important to me. The progress tools enabled me to stay on track with my target assessment dates and booking of the module assessments themselves was very straightforward and efficient. As such I'd recommend Astutis to others having completed both general certificate and diploma with them. Thanks Astutis!"
