Good that we all got to work with different people and meet new friends in the course 6. Honest feedback and encouraging learning environment.

Keep up the good work". Mamatha, CT2, Renal Medicine, Teach the Teacher course for doctors (September 2011)
"The course outline, trainers and group size were absolutely first class. With those three things in place the two days flowed smoothly, and it was without doubt the best course I have attended to date. Excellent course" Timothy, FY2, Emergency Medicine, Teach the Teacher course for doctors (August 2011)
"Fantastic venue with great facilities and excellent food. I liked the course format very much, and the style worked very well. The trainers Rachel and Tom were brilliant. They were clearly very experienced and taught us the key concepts well and allowed us to practice the skills acquired during the course. I thought they were very approachable and friendly." Komal, FY2, Surgery, Teach the Teacher course for doctors (August 2011)
"Very interactive. The hand book is very informative. Working on the questionaaire made me understand how to deal with the four type of learners. Both Tom and Rachel were absolutely fabulous. We did not feel embarrassed to expose our ingnorance to them. Now I feel more confident to handle junior staff. Seeing the video of my presentation made me aware of some of my mistakes." Christina, Associate Specialist, O&G, Teach the Teacher course for doctors (June 2011)
"The small group sessions and highlighting of the ways people learn, how to tailor make teaching sessions to engage everyone and how to give contructive feedback whether negative or positive. Great trainers with lots of previous experience of teaching, which meant a positive learning experience for us as delegates. I had attention and support that I needed as well as goals for further development. Looking forward to booking onto another course with ISC Medical as well as recommending it to colleagues." Sahib, CT1 Surgery, Teach the Teacher course for doctors(May 2011)
"Good amount of lectures and practical sessions. Really good trainers. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject. Really useful and informative course, taught in an interesting and fun way." Nicola, CT2, ENT, Teach the teacher course for doctors (May 2011)

"A truly excellent course. I really feel much more confident in structuring my own medical teaching courses and giving feedback, including negative feedback, to my junior in a constructive manner.

Anisha, ST4, Psychiatry, Teach the Teacher course for doctors (April 2011)

"A really really good course, which showed me a lot of techniques that I can now use to improve the way I give lectures and presentations, but also the manner in which I give feedback during informal teaching and during workshops." Johnny, Teach the Teachers course for doctors, ST4 Liverpool (March 2011)
"I liked that the group was small and we got lots of help from the trainers. It was good to have the theoretical and practical aspects of the training interspersed to keep energy and interest levels up. All the areas that I hoped would be covered were, and from talking to colleagues who have been on courses run by competitors I think your format, ratio of trainers to delegates and handouts are superior. Rachel and Tom were both very credible trainers whilst remaining approachable and helpful. I liked the fact that Rachel and Tom managed to get the group talking and working well together when before the course, none of us had met. I liked the fact that I received a lot of feedback that was helpful. For example, I presented a topic that I am hoping to develop into a training session for colleagues at my hospital. Rachel gave me some very helpful ideas about how I could set about developing the session for which I am grateful. Thank you for an excellent two days." Helen, Teach the Teachers course for doctors, F2 General Practice (March 2011)
"I would like to thank Rachel and Tom for making the teaching amazing. The guidance was excellent. They are experienced and lovely instructors, who delivered a well structured learning experience." Eric, Teach the Teachers course for doctors, CT2 (February 2011)
"An absolutely brilliant medical teaching course for doctors. I have been on three "Teach the teacher" courses to date, and this is by far the best and most hands-on course." David, Teach the teachers course for doctors, ST4 Neurosurgery (January 2011)
"Loved the video practice for presentations. It was so insightful! Rachel and Tom were very inspiring trainers. An excellent two days which will make a massive difference to the efficacy of my teaching of medical students". Sartaj, Medical teaching course for doctors, ST4 O&G (January 2011)
"Perfect sized group. Enough to formulate interesting discussions but split up easily to create more intense learning groups. Well organised timetable. Short sessions worked really well. Lots of interaction to keep everyone involved and interested. Days not too long. Both trainers were excellent, very friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. They were very approachable and offered good quality positive and negative feedback. Keep up the great work." Amy, Medical teaching course for doctors, FY2 (December 2010)
"A very well laid out course, which provided exactly what I wanted. The trainers were very very good. Both of them were very approachable and from the way that they gave the course, it shows that they had considerable experience. Keep on going like this! Really liked working with you guys! Very good course!!! Should be done by anyone who is going to teach or give presentations! Anonymous, Medical teaching course for doctors, FY2 (September 2010)
"I liked the fact that the group size was small. It gave everyone chance to get the attention they needed and it was not too large a group to be inhibited to answer questions. The instructors were excellent and went through the material at a good pace, checked everyone's understanding before proceeding, and the created a relaxed environment in which to learn and try out different techniques throughout the course." Juliana, CST, Medical teaching course for doctors, July 2010
