IEMA Certificate in Environmental Management Reviews

An overall good experience led by an engaging and knowledgeable course instructor.

i found this a fantastic first week to the IEMA cert course very applicable very practical yet maintained theoretical depth the activities in groups was excellent comms. training and whenever there were teams glitches these were sorted by TSW and the tutor would kindly wait at times i am grateful for the breadth of subjects covered and their careful delivery by the tutor it is a real world professional course for business and the greater world!

James was a great tutor, he was very knowledgeable and was able to bring the material alive.

Course was ran very well. Instructor very knowledgeable and engaging. Spoke emotively and communicated very well.

Very good. James as always is a fantastic teacher. I look forward to the next weeks course

This is the first time I have attended a course delivered in this manner. I thought the trainer did an excellent job of keeping people motivated and interested. I particularly liked the stories as they helped relate the knowledge to real life situations.

Interesting and topical content. Will be able to apply this learning in my career. Engagement of the content over teams was more difficult, and hence any discussion and learning about experiences and opinions of other people was hindered. I wasn't a fan of the activities which were done by separating us out into breakout rooms over teams. Again maybe in person this would have been a bit more engaging with other people but I found this to be long and drawn out. Especially as most of the activities I found were similar in what we were trying to achieve or discuss as groups. Assessments are very long and thorough but I guess a good exercise to apply the learning. The course tutor was very knowledgeable and offered some great advice on the his opinions on how effective the content was.

Good course and tough assignments but rewarding

I'm really going to miss the course actually! It has been fantastic, the way James controlled the room (online!) was fantastic - he invited debate and gave us free reign to go down many rabbit holes, whilst always bringing every scenario we threw at him back to the course content. I am genuinely going to miss having sustainability debates with James and the group on a monthly basis! The course content was fantastic too. I'm new to the role of Group Sustainability Manager and my company are retraining me - I feel like before I was working out what to do, I feel now that I actually know what I should be doing! Thank you for this, it's been invaluable.

James has led the training so far very well, the course has been engaging and well structured. We have been allowed to discuss our thoughts and ideas on the various topics, which has helped keep the learners interested. Few technical issues with MS Teams, not the tutors fault, but has found solutions to most of the issues. The addition of the MS PowerPoint slides has also helped as the course manuals are in-depth. No real negatives other than the MS Teams issue.
