Knowledgeable, supportive tutors are a consistent strength, with attendees praising clear explanations, real-world examples and helpful guidance throughout their learning. They find the training informative, well structured and often practical, with site visits and face-to-face sessions helping connect theory to workplace responsibilities. Flexible online study suits people in full-time roles, while responsive staff provide strong assessment and technical support. Some feel the online material is text-heavy and would benefit from more interactive content, but learners broadly apply the knowledge confidently at work.

It was far too heavy. It was page after page of heavy text that took hours to read and even longer to digest. This would have been better in powerpoint with a person talking over the text. I lost focus on several occasions and there was simply too much information to take in. It would have been better splitting this into several courses.

The online learning needs significant work to ensure it makes sense AND to ensure it's engaging and interesting - it is dull dull dull. The in person day of learning and site visit were really interesting and I learned so much. The venue was good, the refreshments were lovely. I had no phone signal on the approach to the site so it might be worth issuing the 'what 3 words' code to attendees going forward. It would have been helpful to have asked all attendees of the course if they were happy to share their contact details. I would recommend it to colleagues but as it stands, I would caveat it.
