It was really helpful. I liked how you set it out with videos and then readings and hypothetical situations. I found it informative rather than overwhelming. Thank-you so much!

I think you nailed it. Appropriately paced, well presented. No fluff! I have recommended it to others and it was recommended to me.
- The Psychology board's new code of conduct 
Loved this course! Short videos. Clear content. The summaries and the easy to comprehend style of writing was ideal to be honest. Especially with so much AI slop around.

We presently have two courses aimed specifically at psychologists: The Psychology Board's New Code of Conduct, and Social Media for Psychologists. They go together quite well, particularly since social media is more prominent in the new Code of Conduct than in the APS Code of Ethics.
