Bond Solon Reviews

Excellent course and great to network on breakout rooms and share advise and insight

Really good and interesting throughout, and very engaging.

Liane was great. Engages with everyone and explained the process and purpose in easy to understand format. The role play was fantastic as it gave you a real life example of what could happen

Paul, was an engaging and entertaining trainer. Easy to follow his teachings.

Some more specific info/advise on new FSR legislation for analysts would be helpful

Interesting course and very applicable to the majority of both life and work

Very good and informative. Made modules relevant to work environment

Interesting topic, good examples and opportunity to network with others

The training could have been done in half a day. I feel that a lot of things were repeated and over explained. There was a whiteboard used where the trainer was writing things which was hard to see. These could have been put into a slide and shared. The stories that were said was irrelevant, but the trainer than asked as a group if we found them useful, which put you in a difficult and uncomfortable position to say no. The trainer did spotlight people who may have not been comfortable talking which was not a good tactic. As for the actual subject material, there was not much that I learnt.

The first 2 days had very little content - no update on CrimPr rules / case law etc. No best practice answers on experience / independence. Day 1 - just a general discussion around any concerns we had re written reports / oral evidence. We could have had this chat in house. Also gave contradictory advice to previous courses saying we should only answer questions in our subject area that we thought were relevant - i.e. not answer the questions (by asking judge to have question rephrased etc) if we do not believe they are relevant Day 2 - 60 minutes to discuss a report we were supposed to have pre read was circa 30 minutes too long. Key points not drawn out in a succinct summary / slide - just a short discussion at the end. Day 3 - no benefit to combine civil and criminal cases - they are very different and felt like wasted time watching cross examination of a civil report I had not read.
