Stuart
The way we were asked to rate each other worked really well and helped us to get the most out of the role play. Lots of role play that was good. However, I found doing such long hours over 2 days was really difficult and would have preferred 3 shorter days.
Deborah
Real life situations helped to put the skills into context.
Sharon
Really enjoyed the scenarios.
Claire
Thank you Cara.
Emily
Cara delivered competently and interesting content for this course.
Thank you.
Julia
Good course content and delivered well but feel the course would be better to be spread over 3 shorter days as it can be harder to concentrate towards the end of the two long days.
