The book handed out was completely pointless

Response: Hi Eve - we are sorry you didn't find the course or its materials worthwhile. The presentation included in the booklet is what was delivered to you on the day and is meant to be used as a reference point for you after the course. Having looked over the materials we supplied it appears to be packed full of interesting and relevant content relating to communication and sales techniques. I have highlighted your comments to the course organiser, so she may pick this up with you. If there is anything at all you would like us to support you with in future, then we would be happy to help

The trainer was pleasant the content covered some of the basics of project management, however I was hoping for more detail on dealing with project management issues and problems and how to resolve them. The course really focussed on the introductory aspects of project management. Perhaps if the course had lasted two days then these would have been covered. As a result I left the course feeling a little short changed although I had picked up a couple of new project planning techniques. I think my company have grounds for a partial refund given the course was cut by one day.

Response: We are sorry to hear your disappointment in this course and we have been in touch with you directly in relation to this. Perhaps the course was not what you were looking for as, after speaking with Peter, it sounds very much like you already have considerable project management experience and Peter covered all the course material we state in the outline. Granted this was reduced to a one day course with there being only two delegates. I hope you understand our position that we run these courses with smaller numbers to satisfy the need and that we too would also much prefer there were more people attending. Thank you for the feedback, we recognise that ocassionally there will be an off day, but am sure you can see from our ratings this is not often the case.

it was an ok training session, the practical aspect was good and good practice. I think there could be more content to actually teach you what you should be doing, I feel we were practicing to gain confidence but not learning many new skills/tactics.
