Kirstie demonstrated great passion, and the delivery was engaging throughout the course. However, during the first two days, I would have appreciated the opportunity to read through parts of the trainer’s manual independently and incorporate more of our own experiences into the teaching process, rather than going through the entire manual in detail. This would have made the sessions more interactive and allowed for greater practical application. Throughout the theory and assessments Kirstie was reassuring and thorough as was Rachel’s input and support. Feedback following the assessments was reassuring when I was feeling very nervous.
All brilliant but will never give full stars as there is always room for improvement.
I felt the trainer provided a very enthusiastic and energetic presence to the course which always makes it much more engaging, Amy was also able to answer our questions well to the best of her ability and was happy to discuss scenarios. The training as a whole I don't believe to be best suited to the needs of our job roles/ the homes we work in. The course provides us with the basic skills/moves to use however, I believe this course should be undertaken within individual home environments while considering individual risks of young people/common behaviours they may display. During the course today many discussions were held about situations we have been in within our home whereby the holds simply wouldn't have been able to keep the young person and staff free from harm and therefor these holds would need to be adapted to keep the young person safe in the moment. A empty large room which is where we do this course does not replicate or prepare staff for real life situations, for example performing a seated PI on three upright chairs is likely to never occur within the home. A more likely situation would be a seated hold on a sofa with bouncy cushions falling off or a bed with a mattress moving. I would suggest as a minimum sofas to be used within this training. Happy to discuss this further.
Satisfactory.
Response: Hi Olayiwoade. Thank you for your feedback. It would be great to hear a little more detail about your thoughts of the course and delivery by emailing me at kirsty.briggs@sherwoodtraining.co,uk.
Could do with some interactive learning or a different style mixed with traditional “teaching” styles.
Response: Hi Fiona. Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback, We are always keen to hear your thoughts and it would be great if you could share some further feedback by emailing myself on kirsty.briggs@sherwoodtraining.co.uk
Felt the training was very informative and enjoyed it being split up between the practical and theory. Felt the demonstrations were very informative and shown well. Was nice to be given the amount of time needed to go through the movement. Trainer was helpful in correcting and showing.
Very useful and informative. However questions 2 and 18 were frustrating as while the intended correct answer was obvious both answers could be feasibly correct
Response: Thank you Alice for leaving great feedback. We we look to gain further information in regards to the questions as we are always striving to improve.
It's refreshing and educative. It's very relevant to my job specification.
Quite an intensive course. Good techniques learnt
