Reviews

The course materials were high quality;
The trainer split the day up well with an appropriate number of breaks as it was a very long schedule of work;
The digital interface (Vedamo) was very interactive and seemed to work well;
An improvement point would be to include more sample papers and practice questions.
Susan was an excellent trainer with a well-honed balance of content, humour and rapport.
The flexible nature and format of the virtual course was great and gave me a lot more time to complete work in my own comfortable setting.
Overall I thought the course was excellent and am interested in future courses by Knowledge Train.
Just as a note too I was thankful Knowledge Train were so flexible with me wanting to change dates a couple of times due to the ongoing situation with Covid, and especially Jay who was always on hand to help.
Due to the recent pandemic, the course was run virtually but that didn’t seem to impede the course deliverables. Going forward, I would still continue to recommend that the practioner element of the course is run in a classroom as you can benefit from role playing examples with other candidates.
