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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this training and benefited from the course content. I am happy there are materials that I can refer too as there was a lot on the day to try and remember (with my notes being inadequate when I looked back at them). I will use the techniques in my day to day role and know it will assist me greatly.

A very informative and enjoyable course, a venue closer to the North East of England would have been better for me.

Brian was brilliant. He answered questions very well, gave examples that were practical and everyone could relate to. He made the training enjoyable by involving everyone.
