I was sent a letter with one set of joining instructions and I went to the venue stated. It turns out an email had been sent out giving a different address (although it did not refer to the written joining instructions being superseded) so I ended up going to the wrong venue as a result. The course itself was informative and well taught.
The participants were not all on the same leevel of experience and expertise so the trainer had to slow down to meet the needs of everybody. A more coherent (more senior) group probably could have discussed more topics more thoroughly. But overall: very good course.
The trainer was a great character, however, for an intermediate course I found the course lacked content.
This would be a very good introduction for those who have no experience in Fine Arts - having been involved for the last year, I found the morning sessions a good recap. The material made reference to 5% IPT which would suggest old papers - there have been quite a few changes to wordings and such like in recent years. Perhaps more up to date papers would be useful. Also, following a very interesting morning, the afternoon was noticeably different. Personally, I feel the reading of policy wording/entries from wording etc can be less than exciting - meaning the afternoon, when everyone has eaten and feeling a tad sluggish, was less involved than the morning.
Response: Hi Terri, Thanks for the feedback and glad you found the course useful. Policy wordings are always a difficult one as understanding why they are there and in a particular way often helps delegates grasp the key issues but they can be a dry topic. We'll have another look at how we use them in the afternoon session. Thanks, Nick
I didn't feel that the content was intermediate, I thought it more of a beginner level. Although it was a good refresher course for me I cant say that I learnt anything
Location was ok, but not great. Sarah was a good trainer and the course content was useful.
The course objectives implied that there would be a more detailed review of contracts. The focus was more on the law rather than important clauses / implications of particular contract references, and not enough time was given to this. The Collateral Warranty / Defects Liability information was good, but again not enough time was given to this.
Would have been helpful to have been sent some course material prior to the course for reading/digesting propetly such as copy policy wordings. Trainer was very knowledgeable on the subject but flitted a little from one thing to another so was a little difficult to keep up - she did have a lot of material to cover so can understand - but that may have been alleviated by us having material to read & digest before hand which could have also made the course day shorter. Hard to keep focused for such a long duration.
Although clearly an intelligent (and very nice/friendly) trainer, felt he did not have much bloodstock knowledge and that I didn't really learn much.
I attended this course with a view to improving my existing knowledge, as it was supposed to be an Intermediate course. however I felt that the pitch was more towards a beginners course, and whilst it was interesting and I believe the trainer was very knowledgeable I felt that I did not really gain much new knowledge. I also felt that the time on the course was not managed very well.
