Part 2 - Giving Evidence - Witness Familiarisation Reviews

Alister Turtle was a very engaging presenter who held my attention throughout the training session. He was always receptive to any questions either I or the group had. My understanding of the court system and how to clearly and confidently give my evidence as a court witness has been widened and emboldened. I shall recommend the Bond Solon Witness Familiarisation training to internal and external colleagues alike, as a valuable learning tool to apply and ready oneself when attending Magistrates / High / Crown courts and First Tier Tribunal hearings. Thank you!

Really interactive course and Alister was an excellent facilitator. The case studies and examples were very relevant and Alister was very knowledgeable. My attention was kept throughout the day and time flew by!

The roleplay was challenging, but done in a supportive environment where we were all made to feel comfortable and successful regardless of how the questioning lines went. I was very impressed with the knowledge of Alister and that he managed to pull different learning experiences and themes from each person's cross-examination. The content about the courtroom was also useful and learning points like the ball and brick wall analogy were very helpful to consider moving forward.

Alister is an archetypical professional in law. All those I spoke with after the course said how Alister's presentation style was confident, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was very receptive to questions, encouraging attendees to engage and ask more! Attendees suggested they'd never been to such a well presented, interesting and engaging course, where they found it so useful for applying to their work. The slide content and explanations were very high quality and the role play court cross examinations were extremely helpful for practice and building experience. Thank you Alister, we will most certainly be using Bond Solon again. Highly recommended.

Kelly guided and supported the group excellently, explained aspects well giving practical examples and pointers to make the most of the potential difficult experience of having to give evidence in court.

Really enjoyed this course especially the exercise as there is no way to get training for cross examination so this was brilliant.

A really interesting interactive piece of training, that fulfilled my training objectives. Trainer was very professional and delivery was excellent.

Enjoyed the experience and the content in this course.

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.

Excellent course and enjoyable due to knowledge and personalities of trainers.
