Customer Reviews

Here are a selection of reviews for our training courses.

  • The course content was informative and interesting with content varied, to include specific questions we required answering which was good. The trainer's presentation was very good as always, Chris manages to get a good balance between informative and interesting without boredom settling in.

  • Very informative training. Diagrams and plans will be very useful, as will the decision matrix in helping me to keep focused on my goals and maintain a positive mental attitude. The presenter was also extremely engaging, fast-paced but clear, good interaction and would definitely recommend this course to others.

  • The training course content was very good. The manual was very helpful and will ensure that I will remember the important points and use them. The trainer was clear and concise. He gave plenty of explanation and has answered all questions.

  • The course was practical and relevant to our environment at work. Effective use of role play and examples. Resulted in good team input and collective engagement. A great result for us. Trainer's presentation made good use of examples and was a good communicator.

  • The course content over both days was very informative and inspiring. Some topics I have covered, but some great tools in the material also. The pace and detail of presentation was very good. Not too long on any subject. Like the idea of highlighting key topics in the back of the book.

  • Course content contained interesting and good material. Liked the philosophical aspect. You can easily use some methods in your private, social life. Was the right amount of content. The trainer was well prepared and motivated. Enough visual display. Loved the interaction. Quite active workshop.
