There is so much to learn with Excel so the only fault I have is more time would have been great. That is no fault of this course though.
great course, very informative but could have been longer or maybe spread over 2 days as a lot to learn
Found the Data Validation section beneficial
The format of every session was the same - a bit of a talk through/demonstration and some revision exercises. While I thought that this worked quite well, perhaps a greater variety of teaching methods and materials would have improved things. A couple of items were missed off at the end because of lack of time. The trainer was flexible and engaging. I didn't learn a lot because I already had good knowledge of a lot of the topics covered. This was more to do with my allocation to this course than any limitations of the course itself.
Response: Thank you for the feedback, Alan, and we have taken onboard your suggestions of varying the delivery. Louise and I will have a look at how that might be done for future sessions where appropriate
Really enjoyable and interesting course, second time I've had Bill as a trainer and found he was brilliant, I really enjoy that he can give you a personal example of everything that he talks about.
There were times when it was difficult to hear and when asked to speak a little louder that didn't necessarily happen. References made to the importance of mandatory training were a little unnecessary given the roles and positions in the room, the gravity and importance of this is already understood and perhaps Toni misinterpreted the essence of the discussion which led to the comments made and then referred back to. Overall however, it was an interesting and interactive day and I certainly have come away feeling much better informed about TNA's
I think the course was great, and did cover a lot, in terms of theory and the role of the facilitator. I was expecting a bit more in terms of practical tools - structuring sessions around different techniques etc. Although this may be covered more in the 2 day session/workbook - I haven't had a chance to look through this fully yet.
I enjoyed the training and feel that much of the facilitation skills will definitely translate into my role. I think the booklet we got with the course will be a very useful took for going back to when planning events and workshops for projects. Learnt good ways to ensure people feel comfortable sharing views and getting the most out of participants. I felt that the info we covered in afternoon was most useful when talking about how to actually facilitate although did feel more time could have been spent on the techniques so maybe an extra half day. Overall useful and interesting.
The group exercises and personal reflection was good. I also enjoyed the video links.
