PRAC exceeded my expectations! I learnt so so much! Claire , Natalie and Maria are exceptional in their fields! Honestly such a highlight for me undergoing dermal therapy at AACDS! I have learnt such an array under such amazing mentors! Really enjoyed every aspect of study and especially PRAC. I would highly recommend to anyone! The support, education and development are at the highest level! It's been a huge journey and I wouldn't do it anywhere else!!
Any studies that I have undertaken, have all been face to face and so I was a little apprehensive to start a course online but following my many calls/emails to AACDS, I decided to take a leap of faith! The ladies are all friendly, supportive and are always happy to help:) The portal is easy to navigate and so my journey continues!
