Scott Bradbury Reviews

I found the course really useful and it was really good to see that as a left handed person we had been thought of in the work books and where to write the answers, this made things much easier.

I will definitely benefit from the course in my day-to-day work/life, although the course itself is currently less relevant to my role than it might be for other analysts who attended the session. The course interaction was really good; however I would suggest to shorten it by combining some of the exercises, that are currently split into, into one test. I would suggest to use a laptop for the tests because the day-to-day role is computer-based and therefore more applicable, more realistic - it could be used to check the accuracy of the information as well as typing the information - setting a time to complete the task (in the same way as it was done for some of the exercises on paper) would allow to check accuracy while working under pressure. Checking formulae could be added to the areas currently tested. Tests could be extended to text - so while we had one example, it could be beneficial to add a test on checking ;paragraphs rather than individual strings of letters and numbers. I think that the course will be very beneficial for analysts at all levels of the business.

I enjoyed the activities - it was a bit like being in school again! However I did find the tasks in the first session, (numerical) a bit unnecessarily repetitive. The second session was much better paced and more varied. I would have liked to know a little bit more about the science being done if the claims. Statistics on accuracy per peer groups for instance as one colleague asked if the tutor knew anything about how focus/accuracy changes with age but she didn't know. Not essential, but could add more to takeaway and share with others.

Enjoyable way of training, liked all the hands on tasks. Scary tests though!

This was a good course and there were some very good techniques that I will use. Most of the exercises were good and you could relate them to your work. The number span exerciises in a timed period were possibly not so useful. The course was very full on and I personally enjoyed all the exercises. The trainer was excellent and made it fun for all.

It was fun if gruelling

I enjoyed the course, lots of participating although I felt it was quite intense, especially part 1. Lots of exercises to do, perhaps too many. I found it interesting and learned a lot how to adapt different strategies to be more accurate with inputting data. This course is fine for those who like to work under pressure but could offer an additional, more relaxed course for those people who perhaps are less confident particularly when you have to work under speed/timed exercises. It certainly made me concentrate!

It was a great course with some very helpful and had some useful information

It would have been useful to have something more practical about managing distractions. The course content is relevant but needs to be made applicable to a safety context for my organisation. Really useful day.

Great
