Parallel Project Training Reviews

Lisa was very good and very supportive

The trainer was excellent, and delivered the course very much in line with the materials whilst being personable, engaging and knowledgeable. She was particularly good at responding to questions and allowing time for this. My main criticism of the course (NOT of the trainer) is that was it too exam focused. For me the exam is a bonus to demonstrate the learning - worth having, but not the main point in itself and not the main thing my employer was paying for. I could probably get 60% on the test with an hour's study, learning by rote, whilst having little understanding of to apply it. What I really wanted was to understand how the tools could be useful practically. We covered *some* of that, but we were always focused on the exam as the end goal with more emphasis on how we could pass an exam about x concept than how we could you concept x in practice. As stated though it was still an enjoyable and useful course - this criticism is why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. Just to also emphasise that the trainer was 5* throughout.

The course delivery felt very similar to reading directly from a PowerPoint presentation, which made it difficult to stay engaged since much of this could be reviewed independently. I appreciate that teaching can be very challenging, and I recognise the effort that goes into delivering a full course. I also found the content hard to follow at times due to limited explanation and structure. In addition, the exam criteria and marking approach did not feel consistent or clearly defined, which made the assessment process seem less rigorous than expected. Overall, the lack of clarity in both the teaching and assessment reduced confidence in the course and made it feel less serious than it should be.

Our trainer, Lisa, was absolutely fantastic. She was really engaging and very good at explaining everything. My only negative is the book didn't always follow the slides and sometimes the definitions that were on screen, weren't shown in the book.
