The only thing that I would criticise is that I wish I left with some more actionable steps on how to implement what we learned in terms of coaching and how to practice it.
Response: Hi Kaitlyn - I will pick this up with Marion and ask her to get in touch to discuss this with you in a little more detail. This is definitely something that can be addressed for you.
Where I have marked the scores down slightly on the above would possibly be more down to my expectation of the course in terms of it's relevance to me which isn't so much a criticism of the course as it is just the fact that some of it wasn't relevant to me.
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 flames
Response: 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.
