Course Reviews
The session was well presented using clear and workable examples. Excellent. Jane’s extensive experience was apparent as she was able to talk through many different scenarios and give examples of best practice in how to address those situations. The course met all my learning outcomes for the day such as, how to support your team in being the best they can be in their role. The handout you are given covers all the content of the course so is a really useful resource to refer back to. Learned a great party trick! Overall I would recommend the course. I have already recommended the Leadership and Management Course 1 and a number of my colleagues have attended and some more will be in the near future.
