"It has been a fantastic, enriching experience so far...keep up the good work....makes me want to return to England !"

"Excellent lectures and case based discussions."

"The content and the course has so far absolutely met my expectations – it is a lot of work, of high standard and you have to work hard just to keep up!"

"High quality. Well organised."

"Well organised. Excellent teaching skills. Proactive approach /immediate response to feedbacks. Effective learning environment maintained by the staff."

"The  course was well organised. Not only basic physiology but also common conditions and recent evidence based management recommendations give us proper guidance. The course content is well prepared. I am glad to be enrolled in this course. I believe it is the best course available. 'It says whats written on the tin'"

"Good course which will provide a good foundation for Endocrinology."

"Exciting, interesting course...would certainly assist anyone pursuing Endocrinology as a specialty...."

"Think carefully whether you have the time to commit to the course as it will eat up every free moment, and more, but – if you decide that you want to still go ahead, you will not be disappointed. The course is set to a very high standard."

"Definitely recommended and indeed I have recommended already to some colleagues."

"Excellent opportunity to cover basic knowledge in a structured way delivered by Endocrinologists of high calibre".
