Happy Reviews

Delighted to attend your first alumni session and I enjoyed the mix of group and breakout reflections.

My experience is not a reflection of the quality or pitch of the facilitation. Nicky covered the concepts carefully and kindly. It is merely a reflection of the subject matter being one I am very familiar with.

I have a better understanding of Excel now, however I have a Copilot license and I use this AI to produce the Gantt charts. The training gave me tips on using Excel however the spreadsheet was used which is useful and also a better understanding of the use of a Gantt chart for project management. However what I learnt and what I needed could have been covered in a couple of hours it didn't need all day. We weren't told in advance to have two screens, I don't have a monitor so that was a problem for me.

It was quite a lot of coaching / participant answers and whilst there were some 'frameworks' shared, I feel there could have been more 'knowledge transfer' from the provider to the participants.

Materials suggested no pre-reading. I wished I had so I would have polished up on excel and would have set up with 2 screens for the day.

Course is great. But finding what I need feels more of a challenge than it should be. Hopefully it’s a glitch and will be sorted.

I think the only negative feedback I have - is about the precourse material. It was quite a complicated IT set up, with lots of different windows within windows, platforms, logins. A numebr of us, did not have the documents what we should have had.

The fact that this was more of a workshop than a training session really helped. Ebeji was clear and easy to follow and I came away with some helpful tips that I did not already know. The training has also helped my colleague and I think about where we might start with Copilot within our organisation. Its really difficult to evaluate this course because of the subject that covered, there are limitations with Copilot and not everything works quite as you expect and this affects what happens when trying to demo. Copilot also requires access to data to have value and Ebeji did a good job of getting us to try things in our context so that we could see real-life outputs that would have a meaning for us.

Good course but I think we did not come to a conclusion as to what form of minute taking is best as there are so many variations of what we can do. Probably would have been better if we as an organisation could have given a perfect set as an example to the trainers to train against.

All good but I am just starting so early to say.
