Bond Solon Reviews

The course provided a clear and comprehensive insight into the structure and processes of both tribunal courts and legal courts, highlighting the practical differences between the two systems. The training effectively outlined the various roles within the courtroom, including the judge, panel members, legal representatives, clerks, and witnesses, and clarified how each contributes to the overall hearing process. This provided valuable context for understanding how evidence is presented and assessed. A particular strength of the course was its focus on courtroom language and terminology. The trainer explained the formal style of communication required, the importance of addressing the judge correctly at all times, and the expectations placed on witnesses when giving evidence. This helped reinforce the need for clarity, professionalism, and composure throughout proceedings. The session also explored personal experiences of cross‑examination, which added practical depth to the learning. These examples highlighted how essential it is for a witness statement to be detailed, accurate, and structured logically, as the strength of the written statement directly influences how effectively a witness can respond under questioning. The course offered useful strategies for managing counsel during cross‑examination, including remaining calm, listening carefully, and responding only to what is asked. Overall, the course significantly enhanced understanding of court expectations and improved confidence in navigating both tribunal and legal hearings. It reinforced the critical importance of strong, well‑evidenced statements and provided clear guidance on how to conduct oneself professionally when giving oral evidence

Interesting and engaging

Excellent course. A wide variety of scenarios covered.

A very knowledgeable and rewarding course. I found the note writing very interesting and very relevant

Emma was very knowledgeable and helpful, she made the course very enjoyable. Thank you Emma

Good volume of learning especially picking through relevant areas for our industry. Really good when linked to applying to our roles. Emma was engaging and lovely. Really knowledgeable only improvement- explaining the activities a little more, maybe having an example as we filled the table out wrong

Enjoyable and engaging course, that kept on relating back to different roles within the company mine and others in attendance. The course also gave a really good opportunity to see how the role relates to the legal side of the business and how interconnected it can be.

I enjoyed the activities we were given. Richard was very nice and responded to my questions. Lots of breaks which helped with attention span

Great course - very helpful

Like all things I would have liked more time 1-to-1 exploring my topics of interest / not unexpected as this was a wide course with many members from different settings
