VERY INFORMATIVE

Course content was disjointed and lacked direction, information was repeated to a point that time was wasted. For example, the first hour of day 1 was spent explaining what an employee is. This information could have been condensed down to a few minutes using briefer definitions and better visual resources. The majority of the time spent on excel spreadsheets, with the trainer writing some legislation and example in unorganized formats. This makes the information difficult to go back over after the live session has finished. My suggestion to fix this would be to focus more on creating premade resources that are easy to read (using tables and other diagrams) and having premade examples that the trainer works through during the session, as well as premade answers with workings that students can look at in there own time if necessary. Also practice questions and answers being provided to students to work through would be beneficial so they can practice their knowledge. I believe these changes could optimise the course, making the course length shorter. As well as making the information easier to understand and revise. I hope this constructive criticism is useful, and I hope you are able to improve the course for future students!

Found the course very useful in terms of being able to vocalise ways I would naturally go about my research as well as learn new ways to elevate my methodology as a researcher. Gillian Stockdale was a very engaging and insightful trainer, she was a major reason that I enjoyed this course.

Course was full of information. Think it could have been more interactive and more relevant to our everyday working lives so it is easy to follow

A great course which was extremely well run. The trainer offered a range of professional anecdotes and examples which was very valuable in contextualising the material.

Very informative course. It is very useful to know calculations behind. Struggled to download SAGE, but got there in the end.

The initial course was set up by Softext. The service by these guys was very slow and caused a lot of stress and anxiety.

Great course - would say its more directed towards people with a base knowledge of Finance & Payroll. Maybe offer a 'beginner course with more one one one guidance' - for someone like myself who is brand new to Payroll and is still getting to grips with the basics. I've learnt a lot, but have found the calculations particularly difficult and would need more then the time allotted to fully comprehend it.

It was a very engaging course that offered plenty of insights and valuable tools for managing projects. I will refer to the coursework material to help me plan, implement, and execute future projects.

Loved the training. Was a great pace with only 2 attendees and Tara took the time to run through specific questions. Would highly recommend!
