Management Apprenticeship - Level 7 (Day 18) Reviews

Great session as always - alot covered however would have preferred a little longer on both Finance and Evaluation

Jo and Brendan knowledge is powerful

Good to have better understanding of where improvements can be made within financial management with autonomous approach

Great thanks.

Another interesting and participatory session

Sometimes the finance level seemed well below the level of experience in the group and moved along very slowly. Thought this week was better than last and in the interactive pieces i found learning from the others in the cohort very compelling

This finance session was better as we got more stuck in to the detail. Some of it was still a bit slow for me

I missed the first finance workshop so I can't compare the two, but I felt the first half was a bit too granular (eg, the finance coding), but loved going through the balance sheets (financial reporting and management accounts). I know Amsel tried to avoid it, but I would have like him to talk through the financial accounts line by line and highlight the areas that we should focus on. Just a general comment, and I do understand that the bulk of people on the course, and indeed all Happy courses, come from the not-for-profit sector, but I feel there's a lack of focus on the commercial sector and the challenges that we have.

A challenging session today with lots of new information. As always though, thought provoking and informative and a great group of supportive peers
