Naming them is not the same as knowing them
If you were to ask a consultation professional to describe the Law of Consultation, they would probably be able to mention The Gunning Principles. Ask them to describe those in detail and that could present more of a problem. There is a great deal more to all of this and that is what this online course will help you to appreciate.
Impressed to see how such a detailed and comprehensive programme was redesigned for delivery through e-learning. Valuable learning for anyone involved in consultation.
