Training Books
Assessment Instruments (training books) for many courses can be viewed on-line, or saved to your computer as low resolution PDF files.

The PDF files may also be printed but diagrams will not appear as sharp as in the classrom version.

A bound printed copy - the classroom version - will be supplied during any course in which you enrol, or assessment for which you register.

The Assessment Instruments present course content in two or three parts.

The reason for the resolution/ quality of presentation for the PDF files being downgraded is for quicker transmission.
