AI summary of reviews

Assignment-focused guidance and approachable, knowledgeable trainers are the course’s clearest strengths. Attendees value the clear explanations, relevant workplace examples and step-by-step discussion of assessment criteria, which make challenging topics easier to understand and leave them more confident and motivated to apply their learning. Interactive webinars, breakout discussions, readable slides and varied resources support participation, although some find the VLE difficult to navigate.

The assessment criteria for the course has just changed and this was quite confusing . However the trainer Sue Warner was able to explain this and give reassurance. She is a very knowledgeable trainer.

I loved that it was a small group and I was able to ask very specific questions I've had. Answered all my questions I came to the course with and gave me more ideas for how to complete. I really appreciate it!

I did not receive the link for the webinar and had to chase this on the morning of the webinar which was not ideal. This is my first proper module and I feel a bit like bambi at the moment!

This is a confusing course - but Dianne is an amazing teacher. This is my second training with her- but her friendliness and knowledge are incredibly supportive to more confused students.
