The room was a little small and we had to have our lunch in it. Nicer to be able to go to a different space for lunch and then return to training as hard to spend all day in one small room. Filming us would of been a useful addition to the course in order to fully critique our own presentations.Response : Hi Diana - we take your point about the size of the room and do make an effort to ensure the venues we use can accommodate the numbers on courses comfortably. I will need to come back to you separately on the lunch issue, generally we offer the option of lunch in the room or eating in the restaurant; I will speak to my colleague and establish what happened that particular day. With regards the filming on this course, I am afraid timing just doesn't allow for this in the one day course. We do provide this as part of our two day Advanced Presentation Skills course; perhaps you would have been better suited to attend that course? We completely agree that being able to critique your own style with the support of the trainer would be most useful. If it helps, please take a recording the next time you present, send it to me laura@cosensa.co.uk and I will pass it on to Marion for her to review and respond. I hope you still feel you benefitted from the course. All the best...

I would like to thank Brian for taking the course. He was very understanding in relation to my needs and also supportive when I got nervous in relation to the minute taking section. Overall it was a very useful day.

I achieved more from this course than I had expected, and it created good ideas for changes that I will forward onto management for them to ignore or shoot down in flamesResponse : Hi Steven - sorry to see you wouldn't recommend this particular course. The comments you left appeared to be quite positive, but this wasn't reflected in the 'recommendation' score. Either me or one of my colleagues will follow this up with you personally to establish where the disconnect occurred. Thank you for taking the time to respond. All the best...

The printed version of the notes did not seem to have the full presentation. The trainer provided this by email though.

The course material pages handed out to us where old and had all the answers written on them by previous students. The excuse given to us was that the trainer wanted to save trees by not printing them all the time. I find this quite unprofessional

Food was quick, well presented and good to eat. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was quiet.

Too many videos. Content a little repetitive

Whilst I appreciate this training was delivered on a one-to-one basis, I felt the actual training environment and equipment was not appropriate - the chairs were not computer operator chairs and didn't provide adequate back support and laptops were used rather than desktop PCs, which meant the monitor wasn't at a suitable height which wasn't really appropriate for a full day's training. I appreciate this set up may have been arranged because of the one-to-one delivery, but it wasn't really conducive to a computer learning course environment.

I very much appreciated the flexibility of Cosensa to meet my needs in terms of location, timing, and course contents.
