Associate Trainer (Train-the-Trainer) Course Reviews

Absolutely incredible course, never felt so supported in learning something new. Also felt very excited to be being taught such a fantastic course. I could not have asked for any better trainers. Kirstie was just an incredible mentor all week and Liam was absolutely amazing supporting us in learning our physical skills. Would recommend to absolutely everyone.

I have really enjoyed the week and feel that I have learned a lot throughout. Everyone has been really friendly and welcoming. Thank you to the trainers who have supported throughout.

Just... Wow. Putting the care back into the care sector. Makes you stop, think and re-evaluate your own practice.

This has been a wonderfully run course. A massive thank you to Kirsty, Liam and Jamie. All have been the course to life and have not only taught but have also coached throughout the week. I will be able to take the knowledge I have obtained back into my work place. Thank you.

Brilliant from start to finish, so easy to ask questions and feed back amazing from everyone so friendly and approachable, happy to be part of the Sherwood team. All trainers across the full week amazing. Thank you for all the support.

I have had an amazing week and this is without a doubt the best training course I have done. The trainers were all amazing, clearly knowledgeable, approachable and passionate about the subject which showed throughout. The structure of the course was perfect for the content and I have learned so much over the week. I feel that not only have I learned new skills, but I have developed personally and I am really grateful for the opportunity. Thank you Kirsty, Kirsty, Liam and Jamie and of course fergus for feeding us all week.

- The course was enjoyable. It felt overwhelming at first because of all the information needed. I felt supported and reassured by Kirstie the whole way through. Liam was brilliant at giving clear instructions to help you understand the holds in mire depth. Jamie gave me bank full of gold nuggets, to help me remember techniques. Thank you Fergus for fetching lunch everyday and Kirsty for a kind and gentle assessment.

The RPI training was highly effective, practical, and well-structured. It provided clear insights into identifying root causes, implementing preventive measures, and fostering continuous improvement. The combination of theory, real-world examples, and interactive problem-solving made the training both engaging and applicable. Kirstie was so knowledgeable in her field and it was a pleasure getting to know her and the team. I highly recommend Kirstie’s training and her ability in sharing her knowledge.

Course was very well put together, following an intuitive and logical process from the reasons why behaviours occur, to the behaviours we may see and what these are actually communicating. The breakaway techniques were easy, gross motor movements (as they need to be) and are proven as effective even under stress and duress. The holding techniques are effective and legally compliant, ethical and well selected for the service users and citizens that we represent and support. Our trainers Kirstie, Andy, Kirsty (and not forgetting Fergus) were amazing. Kirstie had amazing subject knowledge, and was a very engaging, knowledgeable and fun trainer that lives and breathes the subject knowledge and quality of delivery. Thank you so much for the last week and everything you have passed on to us. It will change the lives of many people we support.

Kirstie was an amazing trainer. Made sure everyone was understanding and took some time in to speak to us and coach us all individually. I have really enjoyed this training course and learnt lots of new skills to help me progress to become a trainer
