Ross is an exceptional trainer, he obviously knows his subject very well and is passionate about it too, it comes across that way, and he is able to channel it, into a wonderful learning environment. The course was very helpful and beneficial, and I have already used some of the training points to good use. I thoroughly recommend Ross as a trainer and the 2 day mental Health course.
I was on edge before the training as a couple of colleagues who have done the course previously warned of how challenging and taxing it can be. Although the topics are obviously difficult, I feel that Ross Abbott made all the difference in this aspect. I was able to take in and learn the topics, without being forced or felt like someone was reading from a textbook at me. Ross was extremely inviting and very comforting by nature. I felt that this made everything smooth. I also felt that the way the topics were handled was engaging and extremely easy to engage with. On the whole, everything from Ross Abbott, to the format of the sessions, to the rules set out at the start set the example of what all courses like this should be handled.
trainer very jolly and enthusiastic could give more time for practical assignments maybe
Malcolm was very friendly a good listener very knowledgeable and was a lovely trainer.
The feed back I had from the colleagues who took the course was very positive, they felt they learnt more from the refresher
The course was excellent and Bart, the trainer, was exceptionally good. But the room was not nearly big enough for 13 people - we were pretty squashed in and if it had been summer we would have been boiling hot. The Best Western Swiss Cottage did the least possible to welcome us: they provided a ridiculously small jug of coffee for 13 people, refused to replenish it ('They've ordered on and that's what you're getting') and refused to supply more tap water. When I got onto Twitter, they immediately arrived with coffee, though not water. Really unimpressed and I wouldn't use them again if I were you.
I have had fantastic feedback from the colleagues who attended the course. They mainly said there was a great balance between the theory and the practical learning. They said the trainer was a lovely lady who was good at her job and made the course interesting.
I found the scenario work with the defibrillator machine very helpful as I am noe more confident in its use. The last course three years ago this wasnt available, we just had a talk and video. Being 'hands on' made all the difference
