Feedback
The trainer was brilliant, feel more confident in leadership and how to put the training into practice. Thoroughly enjoyed. (December 2024)
The group work with other professionals was really useful. The trainer was clearly very experienced. I feel like I have learned a lot and can apply this in my role. (November 2024)
The whole course was brilliant! I learnt so much (September 2024)
It was very beneficial being able to do the course with people in similar situations so we could relate and share experiences. I have learnt new skills that I can use in my new role as manager. And overall feel I am better equipped at going into my managerial role.
Hearing others experiences was really useful, it was good to be given the opportunity to network as working in this role can feel very isolated at times. (April 2024)
