Steve Spears
"The course content is completely valid. For volunteers who will not be turning and doing range of motion exercises with patients, there should be a way to skip this training. It appears to me that the video portion of the training is a complete duplicate of the written content. While the video scenes are very well done, the duplication of content is VERY time consuming. One concern that I have is that the time required to complete all of the training could be an obstacle to the availability of volunteers."

"Wonderful course for volunteers who have had little or no experience dealing with patients who are in their last stage of life and their families. I found problems with some of the videos sound. The course covers a lot and some of the videos are duplicated which could be a hurdle for some viewers."

"Even though I have been working in hospice as a massage therapist for 3 years, I learned so much from this course. Volunteer opportunities dovetail with my responsibilities as a therapist and I find myself volunteering often. Now, I have the tools to do an even better job."

"This is an excellent class in every way. I only gave it a four for difficulty because the self-examination involved can be difficult, though important. The course is comprehensive, caring, meaningful, and is so much more than just information about hospice. I highly recommend it. "
