  • Planning and preparation for studies

  • Techniques to improve team participation and efficiency

  • Managing complex and large-scale studies

  • "Colleagues from Astutis have always been very helpful and willing to help, which makes the difference. Documents, information and conversations are always factual and timely, and no request has not been actioned. Astutis' trainers have always been professional and kind to our delegates. They have provided feedback above and beyond to help delegates succeed. Using their learning programme first hand, the information is clear, the practice tests and supplimentary information which are thorough and in depth enough for self learning. We have been working with Astutis for over a decade and the quality of professionalism has always been maintained and it is a pleasure to continue the partnership."

  • "Not having a H&S background but working in H&S, this course gave me enough information, practice and examples for me to understand scenarios from the industry I work in. It gave me in depth knowledge about why and how and it did not come across in a tell format. The time frame allowed was sufficient to complete my assessments."
