This was an excellent course and the trainer was excellent. I have learnt so much and will be using it in my role moving forward. The trainer made it relevant to everyone's role and experience at every opportunity. Thank you!

Although very knowledgeable with years of experience, the trainer referred to the handouts the whole time. No independent slides had been created by the trainer (which previous trainers from units 3 and 4 had done) This would have helped to provide interest through the use of practical examples experienced by herself. Sharing of such experiences/examples of past cases helps the course be more engaging and memorable. I found the course hard to follow as we kept flitting from one course book to another on the screen. Also the page numbers didn't match. Day 2 was more interesting when we watched clips of witnesses speaking at hearings from previous cases. This helped cement the learnings provided and I feel we would have benefitted more from this. The time we spent doing role play in the coroners court was also very useful and enjoyable. As with all the assignments this assignment is very long and the questions are difficult to understand as to what is actually required when completing your answer.

This was an insightful and engaging experience, largely due to our trainer, who delivered the sessions in a challenging yet rewarding manner. Their strong legal background and the character they brought to the sessions made the learning process even more effective.
