ACI Learning Reviews

Mr. Salzman was very knowledgeable and presented the information in an interesting and easy to understand manner. He provided real world examples and encouraged participation from the attendees. I would definitely take another class from him.

I hoped that we would get the same course material as others whom attended the course, I do understand that due to it being online things have changed but for the cost I would have been nice if MISTI mailed us the booklet.

Kathleen is an amazing teacher and has a great way of capturing the audience attention all throughout the 3 day training course. She is clear and direct and very knowledgeable. I am happy I took her class. she provided a lot of insight based off her career background and experience and I thought was very helpful as well because it gave real life examples of what audit is really about and its challenges and how to overcome those obstacles as professional as possible.

Kathleen did an excellent job.

Pleasantly surprised by the smoothness in which the program ran considering the use of zoom to conduct the course.

The instructor was very good in having the students participate and made sure we were comfortable with asking questions. Learned valuable tools that will help me and the organization in the near and long term.

It was impressive how well MISTI handled the virtual training during a pandemic that caused competitors to cancel their trainings.

I like the in class presentations, however I enjoyed the zoom opportunity during this epidemic. Which still allowed us to complete the program. Thank you

I think the course went well. There were some technical issues, but this was Martin's first digital presentation, so some were expected. Even given the glitches, Martin was able to cover all the items stated in agenda. Some topics were covered lightly and others in more depth. It might be helpful on the agenda to put how much we will cover for each item. That way trainees can ensure this is hitting their expectations. I gave the use of visual aids and the course content/materials lower because I feel the course can be more interactive and have some more visual aids (i.e., videos) rather than just be a 800+ page pdf. I feel this will get more people involved because I noticed a number of students were checking out as I noted on several occasions that students fell asleep or disappeared. It is a difficult balance because some students are just attending for the CPE while other are attending for the learning aspect of the training. I think Martin did well to ask if we have questions often and to teach the material. Where possible he did try to add humor into the course and grasp the attention of those involved. There is also quite a bit of detail covered in this training, I feel the training could be taught over 4 or 5 days rather than 3. This will allow the students more time to process and learn information. Or as another option, I think it would be good to give students some precourse work to perform. I understand this is an intermediate class, but some specific prep would be helpful. As it relates to the online course, I noted the course required video, which was explained was for audit purposes. While I think this is beneifical, I noticed there was a student who never showed video. It was brought up the first day and then not brought up again. If it is required for audit purposes I feel all students should be required to have the video. If we only need it for part of the time then I think it would be good to allow students to turn off their feed. I noticed a number of feeds where kids would come in to the frame, spouses, cats, dogs, and other items that were distracting. I feel the number of cases like this would decrease if video was just required at certian times i.e., first hour, last hour, or when communicating vocally to the class. These are just my thoughts so take them how you will. I hope they help out. Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to take this course.

Great presentation and overall energy in program delivery. Love that we get sample audit programs and checklist. I wish more instructors would provide such useful documents.
