What clients say about our Train the Trainer Courses
The format of the course was excellent. The trainer's pace was perfect and the breaks were timed to perfection. She is an amazing trainer and her obvious experience really was evident throughout.
For me personally, the course was perfect so I don’t have any suggestions as to how it could be improved. I was apprehensive at first doing both the Training Delivery and Evaluation and Training Needs Identification & Design courses back-to-back virtually. However I didn't need to worry as the training courses were so well organised. I had the same tutor for both courses and she was brilliant. She made all the trainees feel at ease with the pace of the training perfectly timed.
Although, our tutor and my fellow trainees didn't actually physically meet, it didn't really matter as we all got to know each other and we even set up WhatsApp groups at the end of both courses so we could keep in touch. I wouldn't have a problem doing a virtual training course again after my positive experience with Professional Development.
I found the course was delivered at a good pace, instructor very helpful, course content relevant to my current position. I was nervous about the virtual delivery as my computer skills are basic but found it easy to use and the trainer engaged with everyone throughout the course and the scheduled breaks were ideal in length to allow us adequate time away from computer screen.
I can’t think of anything to improve. It was my first virtual course and it was a learning experience to see how the trainer delivered the course so professionally. There was a warm and welcoming environment, great group discussions and everyone participated. Great pace. I always remember the class discussions and the other participants' inputs.
So, I was pleasantly surprised with the virtual delivery format and how well it facilitated both class discussions and group breakout sessions. At times it felt like I was in the classroom.
