A launch event took place on Friday 07 March 2025 on the ATU Galway Campus and included speakers from ATU and MABS, and provided a comprehensive overview of the course. This course has wide applicability to third level students in higher education institutions across the country. The course is available for reuse from Atlantic Technological University.
