Sherwood Training Reviews

Overall the course was good, Ben was very friendly and welcoming. Suggestion would be in the TNA would be to share the gaps in the staffs knowledge demonstrated through their work history. For example a lot of the staff struggling with engagement at primary level, different activities and record keeping. Some areas required more discussion and involvement from the staff. Some staff seemed to coast through some of the knowledge section. Practical was good perhaps more practical during the knowledge section. Overall really positive staff seemed to engage will be good to watch staff and how they put the training into use.

Lyndsey was very informative about the course and new what she was talking about. She made the course interesting and enjoyable.

Could do with a trigger warning as I found elements very challenging and increased my own anxiety. Trainer was very informative and helpful and his personal insights and analogies

Engaging course and trainer. Thorough course

Fully Refreshed

The course was very informative and I found it very engaging and hands on. The slight downside was not being able to execute more accurate life scenarios (because of our environment) Overall great course with determined trainers.

I thought the course was excellent overall - content, resources, trainer/delivery, relevance, usefulness - all excellent. So much simpler and easier to learn than the likes of TEAM TEACH and the balance of theory and practical really supported the ethos of minimising restrictive practice. Hannah’s delivery is superb, a great balance of lightness and seriousness, which I feel allowed her to engage attendees that were anxious and previously hesitant. In terms of what can be improved, the presentation is a bit sterile/flat with a heavy emphasis on text. Many people in this industry are visual learners and the abundance of text, along with graphics that are very similar throughout makes it difficult to distinguish one slide from another and retain/recall that info. Varying that and introducing more graphics would really help (I think). Whilst I feel the model is so much more usable and applicable that TEAM TEACH, the flip side of being simpler (and less comprehensive) is that I’m left wondering if it covers all bases. I’m hopeful that’s because it’s the first time I’ve done it though and I just need to let it bed in.
