Reed Learning Reviews

I had such a fun day, really interactive and I felt like I got to grips with the subject matter well. The trainer was engaging and really encouraged discussion.

I found the course really good but did struggle at times to get my hands on relevant materials for some of the 'free choice' L&D modules. It'd be useful if there was a greater bank of resources available to students to use for their wider reading.

Could have had print outs of course handbook or told us to print before course. Trainer was lovely, very knowledgeable and kept a good pace.

I felt Joseph was an engaging facilitator who clearly knew the subject matter well. In my view, he explained the structure of the assignment well & I left feeling confident in my approach to this. I feel clearer in what is expected of me. I found it good that we did a range of activities during the session. I thought it was a good idea for one group to work in a different room and also give us the option to work in a different space for the reflective activity. I enjoyed catching up with people I had met previously.

I found the course useful however would have liked more challenge from the trainer and relation of the topic back to our industries.

Refreshments can be better organised.

It wasn't clear that we were in the right place and I couldn't get in the door at the beginning of the day. Once in, the room, etc. was fine but some idea that we were at the right venue and where the course was being held would be helpful.

Content was very basic but Linda's delivery was informative and engaging.

The room was much bigger than last time which made it easier to study and break off into groups. Drinks provided were fine.

The majority of the modules I completed were interesting, relevant and encouraged self learning. When I met Davina or spoke to her on the phone she was very friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I did learn a lot from the course and I have been able to take this learning into my current role. My main issues with the entire course were two fold: 1) the length of time it took to have my work marked. On nearly every module Davina said that the normal turn around time for marking had been increased due to the volume of work. Each time I waited an additional week or two before chasing for feedback. This delayed my progress and meant I did not finish until the very last month my course was due to run until. I had intended and planned on working to a stricter time frame and completing the course earlier. 2) the VLE was utterly useless. It did not have much content for my modules (especially the earlier ones).
