What people had to say…

I was able to learn new information plus practice my MI skills!
Thanks for a great online course! It provided me with the knowledge I need to understand MI and how to work better with behaviour change. The practical skills will definitely come in handy, and it was really helpful to see how MI can be used across multiple settings and behaviours. I’m already looking forward to seeing my next client and putting some of these new learnings into practice!
This course will definitely be useful in my day-to-day work!
MI is talked about a lot at my work, but I haven’t really been able to pick it up until this course. Now it all fits into place and I can finally understand what all the fuss is about. I’m going to recommend it to my colleagues too! Thanks for breaking it all down in an easy-to-understand way.
This is the perfect course for anyone new to MI.
I didn’t really know much about MI before taking this course and realise I haven’t been approaching behaviour change in such a structured way. Thankfully now I feel like I have a solid footing and can confidently work with people around behaviour change. The course was easy to follow and being able to watch the videos over and over really helped to cement my learning. I’ve already noticed change happening in my clients and I know it’s because of the knowledge I gained from this course.
