CSTF (All in One Day) Mandatory Training Reviews

Useful update but unable to follow satisfactorily because there was no training booklet to write, comments and make useful notes. John said this is because some participants leave their booklets behind after training. I find this difficult to believe. Also the use of microphone should be considered because sometimes you can't hear the trainer properly.

Good course

Other than the CPR element, all other modules could be completed via e-learning. Unfortunately the mandatory training days don't seem to be directed at people who just require a refresher.

Powerful

Good

More refreshments should have been provided

We spent too much time going over less relevant information, and doing guessing games for things that’s didn’t seem that relevant. And then had to rush through all the practical parts at the end e.g manual handling techniques etc. (which for me was the reason I attended the course). And didn’t get the chance to practice with different pieces of equipment or have more practical discussions of how we can apply these things more practically at work

Bigger room with more equipment ie bed would be great.

Whilst the trainer was obviously had a good level of knowledge, his delivery left a lot to be desired. I felt he was quite demeaning in his attitude towards the students even though some were more highly qualified than him. He made jokes and laughed frequently, but I did not find them funny or appropriate. He would ask a question, ignore the answers he was given, make an inappropriate remark and then give the exact same answer that he was given. I was very glad to leave at the end of the day. I was also disappointed that coffee/tea was only provided in the morning and not throughout the rest of the day. No lunch was provided and we were not informed of this until the start of the day.
