Cosensa Learning and Development Reviews

VERY RELAXED AND ENJOYABLE DAY

No lunch was served

Too many videos. Content a little repetitive

Mitchell was a brilliant trainer, he managed to cover a large range of topics in a short time. His explanations and demonstrations were thorough and helpful. The only slight issue with the training were the IT glitches.

The laptops were a bit troublesome - some of them didn't have a licenced copy of excel on them, this probably should have been checked prior to the start of the day. Also the big screen hadn't been set up for Mitchell to use, and someone only came to fix it over an hour into the course. These were dealt with well by Mitch, he was able to keep it going and fix IT issues at the same time, but I feel like he shouldn't have had to deal with that stress!

When I turned up the lights were off and the tutor wasn't there. The computers were difficult to get going and two of them had unlicensed excel on it which means we couldn't open a new spreadsheet. The tutor also couldn't get his computer connected up and had to leave it for a while until someone came to fix all the issues so it did feel a bit unorganized. Lunch was ok but I don't think there was enough food as all of the sandwiches were eaten. There was no cold drinks with lunch and no sweet things apart from yogurts, lunch overall was a bit disappointing. The course however was great, the tutor was brilliant and very engaging.

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.

It is often difficult to make a dry subject interesting, but a little colour in the training material would make it more interesting

Kristian was an excellent facilitator. His knowledge and expertise of the course and content was very evident and supported learning. He kept the course stimulating throughout and was more than happy to go over things again to ensure our understanding. I found the session really valuable and look forward to further developing my skills. I would highly recommend the course.

I thought that Lennie who delivered my training day was an extremely good facilitator. I was slightly apprehensive about being the only individual on the course but it was immediatley clear that he knew how to identify the kind of training style that would benefit me the most. I would highly reccomend him to any future taining days my organisation might use. He came accross as extremely experienced and knowledgable on managment and presentation skills and used a multitude of different examples and generally made the whole day enjoyable.
