Customer Reviews

Here are a selection of reviews for our training courses.

  • The course content was excellent. An enjoyable course, very thought-provoking and informative. Lots of information compacted into a short time, with good notes to refer back to. The trainer's presentation was excellent. Well presented and kept everyone focused. One of the best courses I have attended.

  • I was very pleased with the course content and learned a lot of new things, some of which I can also use in my personal life, in addition to professional. Trainer's presentation was varied in terms of practical and theory. Good balance, not too much role play, which some courses end up doing.

  • Detailed, clear and very useful. Well presented. Useful, enjoyable and always a lot of energy. The trainer's presentation was excellent and explained clearly. Excellent course. I will recommend it to other managers.

  • This training course was just what I was looking for. The captions noted at the back of the book throughout the day have been exceptionally helpful. The training day has been enjoyable with lots of interaction. As an introvert this is a huge step in my development. Timings were kept, and the trainer was helpful answering various questions during the day.

  • The whole course was very helpful and enlightening. I particularly found the section of time management very helpful. Chris was very inspirational and knowledgeable on all the topics that were covered. He even gave insightful views on issues outside of the training modules.

  • Course content was exactly what was required as as discussed. Some very memorable and useful tools. Excellent presentation skills and in-depth knowledge.
