Bond Solon Reviews

Lots of valuable content covered by a very knowledgeable trainer. Multiple training manuals makes it hard to refer to the correct page, or recall its location for later reference, much of which was not utilised in the course. Some of the content, contradicted content from the previous course modules with the explanation that the previous module was out of date. Course content teaches to leave space in a statement for later additions (exhibit number), a practice I would not be comfortable with, a feeling shared by the trainer and other attendees. Fewer breaks than previous course, I appreciate time is limited, however its very draining, more frequent screen break would be beneficial.

The Module 1 trainer we had was more engaging. I think going over more examples may have been helpful. We were shown one example where there were a lot of flaws so seeing a good example would have been more helpful. I also think we weren't necessarily using the manual directly as much as before which was sometimes hard to follow

The presenter was engaging and understand the subject matter. However, the course was a quick run through lots of different models / approaches to conflict resolution approaches. It was very light touch and I don't think I will remember much / have much to take away to use as / when I need it.

I understand this is a pilot course so there was alot of discussion during the course around the content and what was / wasnt relevant which interrupted the flow of the course, particularly around the S71 notice issue. This will need to be included and at the outset excluded explicitly to avoid this discussion on further courses. There were a few technical issues with Bob's connection which made the flow of the course less than ideal. Clearly the instructors know the subject very well so once these issues are sorted it should flow alot better. For non FI's this course will give a good level of awareness about ML and procedures to be followed.

A was a little disappointed as I expected a more detailed exploration of the interface between the MHA and MCA and more importantly how this is likely to change with the new mental health act. I've participated in Bond Solon Training in the past and always viewed such events as the gold standard but sadly this doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Also it was billed to last from 9.30 to 5pm so I have been working from home with my managers permission.

found the course interesting however the strict focus on English law when there were persons from areas who it did not apply to was an issue. it was very narrowly focused and knowing the participants it could have been tailored a bit better

Too much talking with repetition and only a little interest in questions or time for them!

Course wasn’t as advertised “Excellence on report writing” The excellence in reporting writing could have been done in 15 minutes - follow the template in the manual. The rest of the time spent may have been of use to others but was not actually relevant to the title and subject matter

I didn't receive any of the information that was used the manual etc prior to the course in my portal. . this would have been useful

The additional examples & information that isn't included in the manual is very useful, - provides context & additional examples.
