I thought the text was broken down into sensible sized chunks. Very clear and easy to follow. I particularly like the summary at the end of each section. The fact that it was self taught gave me the flexibility to progress at my own pace - and to revisit things as needed. A great course not just for principal dentists, but for all members of the practice. I feel it would help create greater harmony and tolerance if everyone was aware of the particular challenges and enormous benefits that come from working as a team.
