AI summary of reviews

Consistently knowledgeable, patient and engaging trainers are the provider’s clearest strength, making complex theory accessible through humour, real-life examples, discussion and hands-on practice. Attendees value the safe, supportive atmosphere, clear explanations, thoughtful adaptations and opportunities to ask questions and repeat techniques until confident. Courses are generally well structured and paced, with useful breaks, and learning transfers directly to workplace practice and everyday situations; a few attendees find some sessions longer or more repetitive than necessary.

Kirstie refreshed us on overall delivery of practical training delivery, she offered specific feedback and showed us techniques demonstration. Kirstie gave some specific techniques guidance on bespoke which in particular was better for the upper arm.

A great associate trainer course. Kirstie was very knowledgable and helpful on strategies to improve my future training. Kirstie gave some great examples on updates on physical skills. I feel as though I have learnt a lot today. I would recommend Sherwood training to any care providers. Thank you Kirstie

Kelly was not present just Amy and she was brilliant, so down to earth and friendly which made for a warm and inviting environment. Her knowledge was excellent considering she has not been in the position long.

Kirstie creates a very safe and calm training room. It is easy for participants to ask questions and discuss things. I am conscious that as an associate trainer I have not been seen to demonstrate all the physical skills during the refresher, as we would for our own staff refreshers. I brought my own questions and queries and remain confident in my own delivery of the teaching and practice of the skills but I could be concerned around other AT confidence and competency if they have not had opportunity to demonstrate all the skills.

Response: Hi Tom. Thank you for taking the time to leave detailed feedback. Unfortunately, there is not time for every trainer to deliver every skill and the idea of a refresher is to recap rather than reteach. As you know from the recent observation in your organisation, we observe all associate trainers delivering in their environment in their first year of training and therefore are confident that we have robust measures in place to ensure trainer competence. Where trainers either self-identify as lacking confidence, or this is observed by others, extra support is provided on an individual basis. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to discuss this further.

Very informative
