"One of the best courses I've been on. Left it buzzing full of ideas and with a new confidence I was lacking. Wish I'd known everything sooner! Thanks so much."
"I thoroughly enjoyed your teach the teacher course for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. It was one of the most engaging courses I've been to. Today I gave a presentation to some junior doctors and I'm sure you'd be happy to know that I used INTRO, pattern interrupt, videos and a whole range of techniques that I got directly from your course! So for that I would like to say thank you."
"Amazing trainers and a course packed full of excellent techniques! My teaching skills have improved so much already!"
"A very well-organised and well-run course full of content. Both trainers were fantastic. Very helpful, energetic, enthusiastic and very friendly. They made this one of the best courses I have been to. Always opened to suggestions and very knowledgeable."
"I learnt a huge amount from the course. I like how the course has been set up so that attendees also learn a lot from each other. I liked that teaching was flexible in that it could be directed towards personal objectives. "
"Full of energy, very charistmatic/ Thank you for such a useful course! I wish I'd done the course earlier in training and would highly recommend to colleagues of all grades."
"Rachel was brilliant. She was approachable, enthusiastic. She definitely formed psychological safety for me. She made us feel part of a little team. "
"One of the best courses I have attended! It has provided me with skills I can use not just within my medical career. The format of the course was excellent - I was engaged throughout, really enjoyed the different exercises, a lot of which emphasised the topics we were learning about and it didn't feel rushed or too drawn out. Both Rachel and Sarah were fantastic trainers and I can't speak more highly of them. They were warm and very welcoming and put so much enthusiasm and passion into both days. I learnt so much from them and will definitely be applying what I have learnt to my future teaching sessions."
"I really enjoyed the structured teaching, practical tips and examples. I have learnt so much and can easily apply it to make presentations outstanding from now on. I thought Rachel and Mark were very skilled and helpful facilitators with great energy and a fountain of knowledge!"
"Organised well. Attention to role play activities and presenting skills was very well thought. I really liked the dedicated time for teaching how to give feedback, as it is what lasts with people/trainees for much longer than any other form of education."
"One of the most amazing courses I have ever attended. I learnt so many practical tricks to improve that I am now buzzing with ideas on how to improve my presentations and teaching sessions"
