Coffee and quality biscuits were available most of the day - very good. The lunch was OK; sandwiches and orange juice.
Response: Thanks for feedback, Simon :) ...Regards, Laura
Very happy with booking process, facilities and particularly nice lunch. I would have expected much more in the way of handouts and take-home materials/references for the cost of the course. As with all such training there is such a wealth of information that delegates cannot hope to note everything, and more comprehensive reading material would have been very welcome.
Response: Thank you for the feedback, Lucy. Unfortunately there isn't a 'one fits all' solution to GDPR, however let me see what I can do about follow up materials and support for you. I will email you privately on this.
No on street free parking as described in prior course communications. Course materials were inadequate - we were only given a handout of powerpoint presentation, nothing else, no info or guidlines.
Response: Hi Ria - I have contacted the venue about the free street parking as they state that on their website. In the joining instructions we do make it quite clear that parking outside the venue is metred. Apologies for any confusion. Within the course Brian provides a number of examples of documentation and points of reference and I also believe he offers to speak to anyone with specific questions or issues outwith the course. If this wasn't done, I would be happy to put him in touch with you. Please just drop me a quick email and I will get that arranged laura@cosensa.co.uk
Room on second day was a bit claustrophobic but all in all facilities, instructor and material as well as the food were first class.
Response: Thank you for the feedback, Gregor, we will pass on the information about the room for the second day and bear it in mind when using that venue in future
Facilities were ideal for the number of delegates, felt like a classroom workshop rather than a course, so perfect size. Lunch was very poor, however that would not normally be an issue for me personally, but feedback is important, it was poor.
Course was excellent and everything I expected it to be. The lunch provided was excellent.
Warm food would have been better but the sandwiches where good
The traybakes at the beginning of the course were excellent. The lunch wasnt great as there was only sandwiches I dont eat bread so i didnt have a lunch. Would be great if you had a choice i.e. soup/ stews etc.
Lunch was very limited I didn't actually eat anything except for a 1/4 of a sandwich.
Margaret ran the course well and clearly was very familiar with the subject matter. She was able to provide advice and techniques which I am sure will be helpful going forward. The actually material was a little 'light' but maybe necessary for only a one day course. The main thing that let the experience down was the fact there was only one other delegate on the course, who was very new to the role. I found this very limiting as there was no one to learn from or share ideas with. I believe more knowledge and insight would have been gained if more attendees were on the course to take part in the case studies and activities.
Response: Thank you for your comments, Elizabeth and yes, we understand your frustration. The numbers on open courses are something we continually have to manage - we can have seven on a course in Belfast and two on the same course in Newcastle. We do offer to put the course date back to try encourage numbers (indeed I believe we did that in this instance), and looking at the record on this particular course, there was plenty interest, just not everyone could commit to attending. I hope you understand we would love it if all our courses ran with larger numbers, but this is not always possible. Equally, we cannot frustrate clients by repeatedly pushing course dates out - there is a fine line. We also offer a 1:1 option if a course fails to generate numbers and we often find this hugely successful.
