CSTF (All in One Day) Mandatory Training Reviews

The training was wonderful and the trainer did an excellent job.

The training was fantastic. I enjoyed it

It's not advisable to have practical training sessions in hotels with limited resources and space. There were no beds, we were unable to each demonstrate use of a hoist and sling. The trainer spoke about CPR for children and babies with using mouth to mouth but never demonstrated this. Why couldn't he do it on the mannikin? There were no infection control courses, no food hygiene, no safe guarding courses as well and many others. It was a total waste of time and money.

It was good and enjoyable.

Trainer was very rude and was shouting at people. Seemed very arrogant annd disrespectful and I will not be attending any sessions done by him in future.

Great refresher course

Spot on

The content of the course was at a level far below that expected. Some of the training was out of date. A large proportion of the course was factually incorrect and based upon misguided opinion. It was very concerning that clinical staff who potentially have no experience of high quality / nhs mandatory training would be reliant on the course to inform them of essential topics such as data handlings, safeguarding and moving and handling. The safeguarding aspect of the training was in no way provided to an appropriate level for anyone delivering health or social care.

Instructor was very disrespectful, talked over people after asking questions and expecting answers. Also asked questions to deliberately confuse us, admitting to ask questions in a different way so it didn’t make as much sense. Quite condescending to others and argued with almost all answers that weren’t exactly what he was looking for. Instructor gave many off topic examples and went on unnecessary tangents about random things. Asked for all phones to be put away, and when someone brought it out respectfully to check it, not interrupting everyone, and previously stated she needed to check it for child care issues, he yelled at everyone about their phones and that the next person to do so would be kicked out of the class and swore at us while yelling about it.

Poor communication. Difficult interaction. She was rude to several people. I question her sanity and ability to train on this course. The whole day was a total waste of time.
