The trainer on the Resilient Mind at Work course was absolutely brilliant, 10/10. Every aspect was beneficial. Learning how to cope with stress and coping mechanisms. A very interesting subject that is important for everyone in both personal and professional life.
The Lean Six Sigma course was excellent overall and brilliantly delivered. I will use the tools, methodology and mindset in work' The introduction of lean thinking and mindset with an aim to reduce waste and increase efficiency was most useful.
The Interviewer Skills course was great. I know how to go about giving feedback to unsuccessful applicants. I am new in my role and now have better practice and processes to follow. Excellent trainer - loads of examples and relevant experience. Very engaging. The knowledge I gained from today will help me form a more structured interview going forward.
