CSTF (All in One Day) Mandatory Training Reviews

On comments

We spent too much time going over less relevant information, and doing guessing games for things that’s didn’t seem that relevant. And then had to rush through all the practical parts at the end e.g manual handling techniques etc. (which for me was the reason I attended the course). And didn’t get the chance to practice with different pieces of equipment or have more practical discussions of how we can apply these things more practically at work

Bigger room with more equipment ie bed would be great.

Whilst the trainer was obviously had a good level of knowledge, his delivery left a lot to be desired. I felt he was quite demeaning in his attitude towards the students even though some were more highly qualified than him. He made jokes and laughed frequently, but I did not find them funny or appropriate. He would ask a question, ignore the answers he was given, make an inappropriate remark and then give the exact same answer that he was given. I was very glad to leave at the end of the day. I was also disappointed that coffee/tea was only provided in the morning and not throughout the rest of the day. No lunch was provided and we were not informed of this until the start of the day.

It was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. Thank you

Good

Already done these courses in more detail. Would not agree with Fire safety and equipment not having to be provided in supported living as worked in social care as well. Equipment not used ie turntable people should be discouraged from using and advice given on requesting professional assessments and to read before using on patients / service users Regency car park is very expensive

Too lengthy ..

The class was oversubscribed 148% which meant that there wasn’t enough time to allow for questions or discussion - I personally feel that this results in potential for people not to be able to practice skills properly The room was adequate for the original amount course numbers but when additional numbers came in the afternoon it was too small

Very interesting
