Associate Trainer (Train-the-Trainer) Refresher Course Reviews
Kieran S, 07 Oct 2025
Attended my associate trainer refresher today. The session was insightful and a good recap on breakaway skills. I learnt new information to use within my session to help delegates apply a gradient approach, remain safe and support people in a person centred and dignified way. Kirsty was engaging, helpful and respectful throughout. I always enjoy my annual refreshers and Sherwood as always, are incredibly supportive.

Always a delight to attend the refresher training. Kirsty was brilliant as always. Key points that stood out were the understanding how language shapes culture, how to improve de-escalation explained to staff, further understanding on the arousol model with the changes and the RPI refresher. The added examples and explanations made the training very enjoyable.Response : Hi Bani. Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the refresher training. It’s great to know the session reinforced key points on language, de-escalation, and the Arousal Model. We hope the session will continue to support you in your role as an Associate Trainer. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

It’s fantastic to hear that working with Andy continues to be a positive experience, his deep understanding of the setting and the challenges faced by both learners and staff really shines through. We're glad his ideas around improvement felt relevant and constructive. It’s also great to know the Q&A was clear and effective in checking learning.

Really helpful tips and ideas for refresher courses going forward. Theories are clearly explained with research to support- really informative and interesting.

Would have liked to have gone over all practical skill a bit more, but ran out of time. Enjoyed the course overall Andy really does know his stuff. Would have liked a few more ideas for refresh course

Useful to go over the techniques as this was recommended during my observation. Interesting to hear some examples of how to make the theory side of the course more engaging.
