Customer Reviews

Here are a selection of reviews for our training courses.

  • I found this a very well-structured day and enjoyed the difficult topics covered. Making use of examples made the course content active and lively. The trainer's presentation was well prepared, fun and not boring. Conveyed the message across in a good and active manner.

  • The course content was excellent and will be very useful with our current merger. The trainer presentation was very good. Great use of the modules, with NO powerpoint. Plenty of grounding and examples.

  • Really useful and practical, drawing on plenty of real world examples. Provided plenty of guidance for dealing with a range of situations. Useful to hear of examples from other industrial sectors. Will prove very useful for organising my time and priorities. Trainer was very clear and had a good pace. Never felt rushed or too slow. One of the best courses I’ve been on.

  • The course contained a lot of content with good formulas/diagrams to make it easy to remember. Plenty of examples to help identify with each element. Use of practice and writing notes helped focus the mind and memorise elements. The trainer's presentation was very interactive and thought-provoking. Good sense of humour to keep all delegates interested. Held delegates attention by asking for delegates own comments. Summarised frequently.

  • I initially did not know what to expect but I can honestly say that every bit of this content will be useful as long as 'I' make the time to put it into practice. The course was very well presented. The trainer was knowledgeably, clear, rational and positive. I have changed my 'thoughts'.

  • Training course content was both informative and interesting and will help me immensely in my new managerial role. I especially found day two helpful and the training with regards to dealing with addressing conflict and emotions. Trainer's presentation was was excellent, clear and precise. It's good to have a good sense of humour as well as the knowledge to keep everyone's attention.
