Too much material to cover in time available. Too many candidates for space. Practical component chaos. Depending on group assigned to lack of willingness of candidates to engage. Needed input/guidance from trainer to check candidates doing practical component... but too much going on to realistically do this for all. Could have done with a biscuit at break time. Trainer good communicator and clear presenter. Attempted interaction with candidates but hard going to get much of a response. Introduction regarding candidates asking questions or trying to trip up trainer 'a bit off putting' (but I presume was based on experience of some candidates acting inappropriately in previous sessions, and fair enough). Felt inhibited to ask questions. Didn't need to know personal information e.g. neurodiversity or sexual orientation as this was apparent. Location difficult for parking since busy town centre. Training room too small. One of the worst training days I have attended with regard to learning and brushing up on practical skills. Components of training inappropriate for my workplace setting e.g. use of hoist and other mobility appliances. From a personal view I think it would be better to do most of this online apart from the practical components. This then would enable presentation of the slides at a speed the candidate was comfortable with and the the addition of MCQ's would test understanding and knowledge.
Instructor was good but sometimes abrupt and rude.
The group was too large. The speaker allowed too much discussion. Not enough control. Little to no refreshments. BLS and anaphylaxis was very short. Moving and handling should be in a ward setting. Hoist had no battery life and was not checked by the speaker to ensure it would work. I think the course for BLS and Anaphylaxis should be a stand alone course. I had no need for anything else.
This course was probably informative for carers/ healthcare . Definitely not a course for highly trained educated knowledgeable registered nurses. I have moving and handling passport NHS which is more in depth and J feel was a more informative course. I didn't feel the course leader had a lot of knowledge and some of her knowledge and practice not up to date.
Trainer very rude and abrupt. Poor welcome and manners. Very disrespectful to many of us. Very poor trainer in terms of people skills.
Trainer was very good, she explained everything very demonstrating every time.
