Great course, venue & Trainer. Will definitely recommend

Fantastic course overall and a massive thank you to William Beattie, I couldn't have asked for a better trainer he was so helpful and great to work with and chat to throughout.

Fantastic.

I felt my trainer was generally a nice person but his teaching methods did not suit my learning style. I had hoped for more engagement throughout the course to ensure I could grasp a good understanding (maybe a powerpoint presentation, productive quiz's to test our knowledge after each topic covered). I personally struggle to absorb and retain information when just going through a book and having stories/case studies told as examples. The complete course material did not get covered within the designated week provided and therefore as a whole, I feel that the course should have been extended to ensure all material was explained/understood better and the delivery of the course was adapted to suit different learning styles. After sitting CEMAP 1, I need to resit unit 2 and after sitting CEMAP 2, I need to resit unit 3,4 and 6. It has left me feeling very deflated and frustrated

Terry was a personable trainer with a wealth of experience and a genuinely lovely person. A think a bit more of a set up of ensuring people know or have access to the zoom tools and know how to engage virtually in whatever way works for them on their device. Would have been good to get more engagement with the others in the course and make us work together to learn. Also more engagement in the quizzes (rather than just a few people answering every question?). Loved the specimen papers and the pre course workbook was good too

My Tutor Maggie has been great throughout my time on my apprenticeship, she is very knowledgeable and is very easy to get on with. If I ever needed any help she was happy to help me out wherever needed. The apprenticeship team are also quick to help you out with any questions. I would recommend.

David Beever was an excellent tutor, I enjoyed how he related the material to real world situations, that for sure helped my learning process. Mr. Beever was also very approachable and open to questions/discussions. I appreciate the course pack received and all the materials, I found it very thoughtful that I got a pen with a highlighter as well.

Alan was an amazing trainer. Definitely not death by powerpoint which so many trainers guilty of. His knowledge and relatable stories which helped you remember key info were invaluable. I was booked in with him next week for 2 and 3. - absolutely gutted that this was cancelled due to strikes and no additional date close to this date has been offered. I would of given simply a higher rating were if it not for the fact that after cancelling my next course that no sooner face to face courses were available. I felt this was poor.

excellent course, expertly delivered. thanks

The course was really great, our trainer Luke was brilliant, he was explaining everything with clear, real life examples that helped understand the topics that were discussed. During the exam, there were a few questions that were not discussed or were in the book but overall it was a great course. I managed to pass with merit the next day after the course it finished so I am very happy. I can not wait for the next 2 modules.
