AI summary of reviews

Practical, engaging delivery is the course’s defining strength: attendees value trainers’ subject knowledge, approachable style and ability to make complex HR topics clear through real-life examples, case studies and thoughtful discussion. Breakout activities, group tasks and workbooks help them test ideas, understand assessment questions and apply learning at work, while a clear structure and good pace build confidence. A few attendees find guidance or materials occasionally inconsistent, so clearer alignment would help.

This is very different to the Level 3 so it wasn't what i was expecting? I still feel in the dark about what we are supposed to be doing, the assignment wasn't spoken about step by step and it wasn't explained how it was all going to work for the assignments. in the level 3 each call was with our tutor and then we went through the assignment and what was expected from us. This webinar felt like i had missed a previous webinar as it felt like it should be an extra call? I dont think its the Trainers fault but how its different to the level 3 doesn't work and it feels disorganised. Also being in with a different cohort isnt helpful as its too busy and all at different parts of the course.

It is confusing that a cohort and apprenticeship has been mixed, it feels like we are different stages. I don't feel the assignment has been explained at all

I really enjoyed the dynamic, he was super engaging throughout the entire session. I’m not happy about not following each question as we usually do, but I understand the reasons behind it. Thanks!

Number of issues with this one. Firstly, the VLE states the deadline for submission as 1st October and we didn’t have the first workshop until 2 October. Link not sent until l support chased. Not for the first time the workshop tutor had different indicative content to that on my VLE and this time Fiona had a different question to us for 3.2 ( apart from one group member). As a group we don’t mind which question we answer, but need to feel sure the Assessor is marking against the right indicative content to our question. Fiona did adapt the session to leave out breakout groups as several members busy and appreciated that it was confusing for us.

Evelyn is great trainer, very concise, practical, however I would have love to receive more theory and information about the consulting stakeholder management and stakeholder analysis, what I found very demanding in the people professional role.

Irony - this is a course on Effective L&D and it was more of a signpost event. Elaine definitly added learner engagment techniques and opportunities for peer to peer learning, however we were often lost with only those with prior knowledge being able to contribute. Fundamenatlly the whole event needs more time. Three half days would be far better with time to assimilate the information provided.
