This course was extremely useful as it is something that we have not learnt before but desperately needed to know about before having to give evidence. I liked the interactive format as I take more in and recall things better that way. I feel much better prepared for giving evidence in court after having attended this course, now I just need to improve my skills by putting what I have learnt into practice.

Brilliant course - the most engaging I've attended for some time. Really insightful not only professionally but personally too. Great methods for engaging with us as attendees and not intimidating or nerve wracking to speak up and ask questions. Brilliant - 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.
