99%
of students report positive benefits from our 1:1 conversations
I enjoyed the self-paced learning aspect of the course. I liked that projects were flexible and the rubric was clear. It is always nice to do a course that is instantly relatable and where aspects can be put into practice immediately. I found I do a lot of what was presented in the framework but in a less organised way and this course really helped me to reflect on what I am doing and how I can make it better.
The research that backs up the approach is fascinating and helpful, as are the one-to-one videos.
The ability to review each other’s work anonymously provided me with powerful feedback. Overall I found MARIO certification one course to be engaging, chock full of research, and evidence-based practice
Throughout this process I actually felt like I was being listened to. I never once received a robotic reply to my queries. I received heartfelt, supportive and, most importantly, encouraging instant replies from the MARIO professionals. Acknowledging and understanding one’s struggles had the biggest impact on me.
The course was fast-paced and hard work, but the way the units built on each other made sense, and I really appreciate how we as course participants were effectively being put through the paces that the students will go through.
