Best Interest Assessor (BIA) Training reviews

4.8 (267 reviews)
AI summary of reviews

Attendees particularly value the trainers’ ability to make complex legislation, case law and legal terminology clear, precise and practical. They describe Sue, Steve and Max as knowledgeable, patient, approachable and engaging, using real-world examples, case studies, discussion and group work to connect theory with BIA practice. The course is well structured, with useful materials and a supportive pace that builds confidence in applying the Mental Capacity Act, DoLS and best-interests principles at work, although the content feels intensive for some.

Training was overall insightful and relevant however due to its intensity i do feel more interaction would have helped with learning, such as more activities, break out rooms etc, as opposed to just being talked at. However i do understand the content needs to be shared. The power point task was good too however felt under pressure to complete something in a short space of time, and then be criticised for not having in there what was needed what was wrong. Overall a good course and helped with increasing understanding re: BIA.

please going forward you should be using Zoom instead for MS teams - we had so many issues with that MS Teams particularly relevant to people who use Macs they do not like MS teams - Zoom has amazing functionalities including summaries and AI generated summaries which are super helpful for revision purposes/.

It would have been helpful to have had more course information prior to day 1. Perhaps the creation of a 'Course Handbook' to be distributed at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the course? So far the course has been very 'heavy' with little time (for me) to digest and reflect on the learning. More opportunities for group discussion would help me to learn and absorb information better. However, this could just be my learning style.
