What others say.
I enjoyed the interaction with all of the other students – hearing their ideas, stories and strategies for coping with workload.
Trainer presented nutshell info and techniques to improve time management. The day went fast as our time was informative and interesting. Thank you!
The course content was practical and should be easily adopted to improve my workplace productivity.
The course flowed smoothly and steadily and there was a really good balance between theoretical models and practical takeaways. The presenter gave us plenty of opportunities to contribute our own experiences and there were sufficient activities to embed what we learned. I think this course would benefit staff across all levels � I now have a number of new strategies that I can implement at work over the short and long term.
The tutor is exactly what you look for in a professional development instructor – an empathetic listener who is able to take the knowledge and show you how to embed it in your everyday work life.
The presenter was very engaging and the content was general enough to be applicable and relevant to my needs at work. I am now inspired to apply this knowledge to better manage my time at work and activities outside of work. Would highly recommend.
Excellent content and facilitator. The presenter is experienced in this topic area and knows how to get groups to engage. No problems referring this course to colleagues and friends.
Excellent and highly commended course for anyone. Provides useful tips to manage time efficiently at work, running a business or at home. The presenter was excellent, and had interesting examples, video clips and course material without too much theory. The presenter engaged with the audience well and the audience did the same vice versa. Enjoyed the group tasks as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, will recommend it to anyone and will use the time management tips in my work, professional and home environments.
The trainer was very approachable and engaging in their delivery and also a good facilitator who encouraged everyone to contribute to discussions. I will recommend this course to all my colleagues who need to improve their time management skills.
A very helpful course about habits that one should cultivate much earlier in one’s life and career.
The presenter was great, and I would do more training again with this tutor. Syllabus and outcomes were excellent and group work was a good way to reinforce.
The tutor was well organised to run a good course and session. The participants all responded very well and it was a credit to be a part of. I found this course very beneficial.
Course material was very informative and applicable for the skills and techniques I was looking to gain. Good sense of practicality about presented material, and I came away with a feeling that I could quite simply implement these techniques into my daily routine to improve my time management. Facilitator was friendly, approachable and logical in the way the material was presented, and was definitely able to provide good suggestions on how to apply the material to everyday situations.
There’s really no words to describe the tutor. The best presenter I’ve come across. The atmosphere created encourages everyone to get involved and makes the learning process an unforgettable one. I’ll definitely come back for other courses.
Good course venue and content. Excellent facilitator knowledge, well structured and presented course.
Great location, easy to get to and the course has given me some great tools to take back to the office.
