Realise Reviews

I’ve been really enjoying the course and my first week with trainer Atinuke Adeoti has been amazing. She’s very knowledgeable and handles the group very well and her explanation on the topics are always very clear.

Overall, I have enjoyed the bootcamp. I am coming to the end of the course and have already been accepted into a Level 3 Early Years apprenticeship. I have enjoyed learning about the early years from Daljit, who has been my tutor from the beginning, and I appreciate how structured and unrushed each session feels. I like how she will engage with us, like "If you were in this nursery, how would you handle this situation better?". Even if she doesn't always need an answer from that individual, and will take volunteers, it's still nice to help keep everyone focused and give those who may not have raised their hands all session (due to shyness) the opportunity to engage in the session. I have really enjoyed this bootcamp and have learnt so much from each session. Having zero formal early years training, this bootcamp has helped my knowledge and my confidence a great deal. Thank you to everyone at Realise! :)

Thank you for all the support, patience and encouragement you've given us all. x

Was a great session very informative Atinunke was very helpful and a pleasant trainer.

Claire was absolutely amazing, She knew the course contact and delivered it in a way that made it enjoyable and engaging However through no faulty of Claire there where technical issues with the projector, Claire handed this very well she adapted and came up with solution that help all of use.

The hotel rooms could do with a refresh as they are dated. There were a couple of guess smoking weed on the premises this could be smelt in our area of teaching. The food was not up to the normal standard for lunch, as Wednesday's lunch was awful, dried up sandwiches, dried up salad and houmous. Thursday was a repeat of Wednesday's lunch. I think we should also be allowed to choose our meals from the bar menu as this menu has more choices and normal food. Not the posh fine dining menu. There were also lots of technical issues with the projector while we were trying to deliver our PowerPoints and while the teaching was trying to teach the class.

I feel the content should be over 3 days, as it was fast paced and I cant process information that quick. The tasks to do were quite large and needed more time to complete, especially the feedback on the presentations. It needs to be done maybe the next day or given longer as typing that fast between learners doing their presentations and giving the feedback did not work sadly for me. It is not my usual feedback I have wrote as I cant type that fast and listen at the same time at that pace. The stay at the venue was not great on this occasion. The food was stale, the same food served to us and no different options. The room was not in a good state with gashes in the walls and the toilet smashed. There was also a smell of some substance being smoked in the hallways and gardens. Not a great venue to host this type of event and especially as the company uses the venue on a continuous basis.

Great experience, amazing tutor

Brilliant course maybe to long In running times 4 day course would be ideal. Do get stuck in lessons do prepare and keep at it does rewards yourself better than leaving and not completing the course does require yourself properly to attend 1/10 sometimes does feel like it's to much information but in the end 10/10 but isn't it like that yes so brilliant well rounded course

I enjoyed this course as IV learned new skills which I will use I'm my everyday life
