Here is a quote from one of the graduates who completed the course last year;

“While doing CoHELP online, I learnt most of how to do online courses. I understand now the new normal of COVID-19, and the ways of infection controls and how to apply (them) in a clinical area. Receiving certificate was the biggest boost for current training in the clinic.”
