I found the training very beneficial especially as we were working to the same excel sheet as the trainer. I actually find the virtual training better than attending other training courses in person

Facilitator was helpful in directions and patient throughout the course. Very informative and answered questions well. Content was useful and particularly relevant to manager-employee/person work interactions.

The course was very enjoyable considering I do prefer to be with people, and this was a first experience of zoom learning. I do feel deprived of the contact and going to a venue etc., but of course no ones fault and cannot be helped and it was better than I expected. I was surprised how much I got out of it and participated in. I really enjoyed meeting the other learners and sharing time in the breakout rooms. It may have been nice to of been encouraged to come back a little earlier from lunch to have an optional informal chat time with the other learners possibly, but that's because I'm a people person and missing the interaction with others at this time... Paul was very good! lovely calm voice and manner. Included everyone so well and equally. He valued all comments and was very engaging and knowledgeable. Thanks Paul, hope to meet someday at Happy! :)

The 'venue' or Zoom meeting structure was really good. I was really impressed with the system, how it was used and how you were able to maintain lots of interaction despite not being in the physical classroom. I thought the programme translated really well to this online format. (I would be happy to book either remote or in-class sessions if both become standard options on your course listings) I also really appreciated the thought and planning that had gone into restructuring the programme to accommodate the online format, such as the 7 minute breaks away from the screen each hour, the moves into and out of break out and large group activities, the interactive team activities and the two hour teaching blocks with independent working in the middle. Really good and, as always, lead seamlessly by Nicky. Thank you.

An excellent online experience. Full use made of Zoom facilities to make the course interactive, informative and fun.

Facilitator, Sal, was extremely helpful and really engaging. She got us involved throughout the session, asking questions to check we were following- but wasn't pressuring in her manner or tone at all, meaning we all stayed actively involved and understood what we were learning. I really enjoyed the training as a result!
