AI summary of reviews

Knowledgeable, supportive tutors are a consistent strength, with attendees praising clear explanations, real-world examples and helpful guidance throughout their learning. They find the training informative, well structured and often practical, with site visits and face-to-face sessions helping connect theory to workplace responsibilities. Flexible online study suits people in full-time roles, while responsive staff provide strong assessment and technical support. Some feel the online material is text-heavy and would benefit from more interactive content, but learners broadly apply the knowledge confidently at work.

Very well written module, was very informative, more so on the UK reg's and requirements as we work to different, though similar here in Ireland. Would work well as a published document.

Very enjoyable course that boasted my knowledge to enable me to conduct my daily job to a higher standard. Tom Felix was a supportive and knowledgeable instructor / assessor.

The course has been excellent for me, written in a way that can be easily understood, has covered everything I need to know as a Minerals Planner and has helped me in my day to day job enormously. Although I've had some internal training within the team and have been shadowing various Officers there is so much to learn, and my Manager and colleagues are very busy in their daily roles, so this has been a huge help to me in learning the job. The only negative if I was to find one is that it has been quite heavygoing, with a lot of reading in each unit, although everything I've read has been really interesting so I'm not quite sure how that can be improved/ condensed! Now that I've completed the course and read everything, I would like to download all the units to a series of PDFs so that I can retain for future reference but I'm not sure whether that can be done easily?...
