Cosensa Learning and Development Reviews

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.

Martin set the scene from the outset, specifying the learning outcomes but also taking on board any other related aspects we as a group wanted to get out of the course. The small group worked extremely well together, a bonding experience, complimented by Martin. We were learning constantly and seemed to cover so much ground but in-depth, nothing was considered of less value. The practical side of the course was invaluable, thought provoking and really well structured.
Response : Thank you for such glowing feedback on this programme, Roger! We are delighted with your comments.

It would be beneficial to have a follow-up optional course available to those attended.

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 felt the course could have been more specific into the duties and responsibilities of a H&S Representative. The tools necessary to conduct this role effectively were only touched on and too much time was spent talking about legal structure rather than talking about what legislation and prosecution methods are relevant to H&S. I would have liked more detail on reporting on incidents and the importance of doing so emphasised to the attendees. The trainer conducted himself well and I liked his style of teaching but felt that the course content needed to be adjusted.

THE COURSE WAS WELL PRESENTED AND THE TRAINER WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE TRAINING WHICH IS NEEDED FOR OUR ROLES.

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...
