Testimonials

I have found many of the lectures fascinating. Academy has assembled an impressive collection of experts to provide the lectures and I can not think any negative feedback about any of the speakers or lectures

I liked the course itself and the content was very well structured. The lectures were all very good including the supporting materials. I had no difficulty accessing the website or any material which was the real benefit for me, given my location was outside London. I would certainly recommend the course to others and I would be interested in completing other courses on-line in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and was grateful for the ability to attend it on-line.

As a forensic pathologist, this course opened me to the various areas of death which should not be confined to the medical field alone. Through intensive lectures on several diversified topics, one would be well equipped with knowledge to deal with the legal, cultural, religious, medical, and psychological aspects of death and other associated issues, either in the capacity of a solitary body or in multiple casualties as in that of a disaster situation. This course no doubt has effectively helped me to serve the justice, to respect the dead, to understand the needs of family, and to integrate everything practically into my daily work.
