This course was a quick and easy to follow line of defense for violence in the workplace. I will reccommend this site for futuree training purposes to my staff. We work directly with the public in a hospital setting where sometimes emotions run high and people don't always know how to deal with certain situations. Thank you for making the information so easily available at a very reasonable cost.
