Courtroom Skills for Expert Witnesses Reviews

Very good training day. Interactive, with good examples. Relaxed training but very informative.

Excellent teacher who gave really good examples within practice to make it more relatable. Right amount of depth with friendly humour too.

Richard was an engaging educator and gave great examples.

Really interesting course. Thank you

I sat this course as part of the CUBS programme and have previously completed the report writing course. Today's training was excellent. Simon Jelf is an outstanding teacher. He is personable and approachable and brought a wealth of experience and insight to a complex subject area.

I feel significantly more prepared for my upcoming tribunal, where I will be appearing as a witness. This training was invaluable, particularly for the practical tips and real-world guidance it offered. Charan was an excellent trainer—personable, clear, and highly engaging. She created a supportive environment that immediately put everyone at ease. During the role play exercises, she focused on highlighting learning opportunities rather than pointing out mistakes, which really helped build confidence. I now feel much more assured in presenting and owning my witness testimony. If I were to suggest one improvement, it would be to include a tax-related case study, as this would feel more directly relevant to HMRC learners. That said, it did not detract from the overall quality of the session or the excellent advice we received under Charan’s guidance.

Excellent day

Excellent course, practical parts were tough but very useful Would be good to have a better witness statement to discuss
