Happy Reviews

I missed the first finance workshop so I can't compare the two, but I felt the first half was a bit too granular (eg, the finance coding), but loved going through the balance sheets (financial reporting and management accounts). I know Amsel tried to avoid it, but I would have like him to talk through the financial accounts line by line and highlight the areas that we should focus on. Just a general comment, and I do understand that the bulk of people on the course, and indeed all Happy courses, come from the not-for-profit sector, but I feel there's a lack of focus on the commercial sector and the challenges that we have.

A challenging session today with lots of new information. As always though, thought provoking and informative and a great group of supportive peers

Henry's metrics section and the Beyond Budgeting exercise were good. The other bits were a bit slow. I felt they were explained in too much detail and the explanations were often repeated using different words.

I like the course. lt covers so many topics with quite good learning pace. The skill I learnt definitely benefits me from now and future.

Good course that id recommend to colleagues- personally a bit more information or a bit shorter for what was covered. Pace was a bit slow but that was more to do with the calibre of LBS staff not the trainer!

The trainer is very good and gives us enough time during the break out sessions.

Right length - not too tiring, well paced and interactive with time to practice alone - really useful. Thank you!

My first time back at Happy in some years; it was really nice to see that the quality of the training is the same as I remembered it. This was a great basics session for me as someone who has been using MS Excel for years but without knowing how to do basic things. My Finance team will be well pleased.

Loved the inclusivity of the venue. Appreciated the snacks and drinks freely available. Good quality equipment for us to use. Clear objectives and instruction from the trainer. Clean and hygienic.

SMOOTH AND EASY
