This course filled me with confidence in a daunting subject I previously knew nothing about. Well worth attending.

Kelly delivered the course in a really interesting way by referring to her vast knowledge and experience of the subject, very helpful on any queries and took time to explain. Really enjoyable course, with the learnings being invaluable within my current role.

I have been telling everyone know about this course! I found it so engaging and helpful! I am actually almost a bit excited for the opportunity to apply my knew knowledge in the court room (even though it will be scary)! Allister was so knowledgeable and I was so impressed with how much preparation he had done on all of our statements. He is truly a credit to Bond Solon. I am hoping to do more courses in the future!

The trainer was very professional and concise with knowledge sharing. The trainer gave all candidates the opportunity to participate in the course.

I found the way that Alister delivered the course very engaging. He provided a lot of content that has given me a lot to think about. I particularly found the visual cues, such as the balls and wall scenario helpful. As Alister said, these will make it easier to reflect on under pressure. I appreciated the mock courtroom scenario, as whilst I have given evidence in court before, I have never had to provide evidence regarding my work. This exercise certainly gave me things to reflect upon after the course.

I highly enjoyed the course and found it interesting and informative. It's the mark of a good trainer when all you want to do during the breaks is talk about what your just learned and how interesting your finding it!

Alister Turtle was a very engaging presenter who held my attention throughout the training session. He was always receptive to any questions either I or the group had. My understanding of the court system and how to clearly and confidently give my evidence as a court witness has been widened and emboldened. I shall recommend the Bond Solon Witness Familiarisation training to internal and external colleagues alike, as a valuable learning tool to apply and ready oneself when attending Magistrates / High / Crown courts and First Tier Tribunal hearings. Thank you!

Really interactive course and Alister was an excellent facilitator. The case studies and examples were very relevant and Alister was very knowledgeable. My attention was kept throughout the day and time flew by!

The roleplay was challenging, but done in a supportive environment where we were all made to feel comfortable and successful regardless of how the questioning lines went. I was very impressed with the knowledge of Alister and that he managed to pull different learning experiences and themes from each person's cross-examination. The content about the courtroom was also useful and learning points like the ball and brick wall analogy were very helpful to consider moving forward.
