Really fab, would recommend, thank you!

Fantastic course. Both Carol and Gary make you feel comfortable throughout and the course is delivered at a great pace. Thank you!!

Fantastic course, I learnt so much from Carol, over and above what I was expecting from this week.

Thank you! The structure and pacing of our sessions allowed me to absorb the materials in a comprehensive manner. I'm especially pleased that we're given time now to review the materials at our own pace outside of the shared moments.

An excellent training course, trainer was excellent.

Really enjoyed this course, thank you for the experience.

This course was fantastic. I learnt so much over the course of the week - Carol clearly knows this area extremely well and was able to respond to an array of queries/discussions with really interesting answers/thoughts. Her approach was so sensitive and kind - she made everyone feel at ease and really took the pressure off to "get it right". I really appreciated that people weren't "put on the spot" and were free to participate in discussions/speaking in front of the group as much or as little as they felt comfortable doing. The online nature of the course really didn't take away from my learning - if anything i thought that it made for a more efficient week and enabled more flexibility with the tasks. I really liked the structure of the agenda where task time was set aside at the end of the day. I thought the coding activities were excellent - the ability to input my scores and get really thorough feedback in the form of a written report in relation to how my codes were similar/different to Carols was extremely helpful for my learning. I genuinely really enjoyed the week, found it so interesting and learnt so much. It has both inspired me and given me the confidence to get going with ADOS and ADI-R's. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Thank you Carol and Garry.

Fantastic, helpful course - thank you so much!

Thank you so much for an enjoyable, informative, useful and practical training week. I have come away with improved knowledge, some excellent clinical examples to use as anchor points for future assessments, and clear direction for practice improvement, both for me and the service I work in.

Solid, informative training, professionally delivered, well-crafted. In particular, I appreciated the trainer, Carol's insights, as she spoke very sensitively and directly about a very tricky topic! Carol clearly engages in reflexive practice and keeps her knowledge extremely up-to-date and allows her views and judgement to evolve based on current evidence, which I really appreciated. It's not easy to stay so current but it meant that her judgement, the information she shared and the way she taught us to make our own judgements as accurately as possible was grounded in quite current knowledge and perspective. I also found the organisation to be supportive, helpful and easy to get in contact with throughout the process. They answered my many questions beforehand which helped me get a sense of whether the course was right for me. Very glad I booked on. Massively pleased and impressed overall, it's well worth the investment, and a really trustworthy source to receive this training from. Would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who plans to assess adults, minorities, and highly masking populations.
