Cosensa Learning and Development Reviews

We had soup and sandwiches for lunch, and I liked that it was not too much, as so often on these types of things you are served a huge meal which makes you sleepy for the rest of the afternoon! I also very much enjoyed the scones with clotted cream at the tea break. I thought that the training centre was easy to get to, and the room was very nice, with plenty natural light.

The training didn't seem to incorporate what HES advisors actually do on a day to day basis.

The book handed out was completely pointless

A really worthwhile and beneficial course. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable in this subject and willingly shared/covered practical step-by-step approaches, tools, tips and techniques with the group. I asked lots of questions and these were dealt with in a really helpful and constructive way. Having attended this training, I feel much more confident and equipped to progress the project I have been given to manage.

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.

Overall I wasn't that impressed with the course. Some of the material handed out was not correctly formatted and the trainer had to provide copies of his material so it made sense. The trainer was a very nice guy although he was loaded with a cold and I felt this took his attention away somewhat. He was nice but I don't feel he went into the details as much as he could have. I feel slides were just quickly skimmed over and I don't feel I learned anything outstanding. Most of it seemed very logical and would be how I would approach a task normally. The trainer told a lot of stories and although loosely relevant I'm not sure they contributed much to the experience. This was supposed to be a 2 day course originally and it was shortened to 1 day as there were only 2 delegates attending. I don't see how this could have been delivered over 2 days unless the details was fully gone into as if we had done that on the day rather than skimming and talking a lot it could probably have been delivered in half a day. I feel the fee does not reflect the time (being reduced to 1 day) or the experience. I would have expected a discount with the reduction in days. I have a slightly better thought process to project management but by no means was wowed by the course and don't feel I took a huge amount of knowledge away from it.

At the end of the first day was a bit confused about the linear steps of process. Course slides helped as the notes were jumping about a bit and did not follow the presentation.

i would have no hesitation in recomending the course, Also peter was fantastic

Course content was good and varied. There was also opportunities to cover other material that was specifically asked about.

Fantastic trainer, really made the course. Irene was totally focussed on the learners and made sure no one was left behind while no one was bored either. Very knowledgable, friendly and proffessional.
