Within the learner pack are the 5x unit questions which will be set throughout the course, Units 1&2 will be set prior to the course to start your learning journey.

For those of you that have never done any Anatomy and Physiology this unit can be both in-depth and challenging at times, therefore completing unit 1 before you start, will help give you more time to explore and learn the subject helping you gain more from the course days.
