Steve is a great instructor, I really enjoyed this course.
I really appreciate the overall course format and the topics covered will definitely be put to good use.
Congrats Steve on a brilliant delivery
This course was better than what I expected. The content matched surprisingly well with the situation I’m currently in. I liked the fact that topics related to team development and leadership were touched too.
Very clear information that was easy to follow & hopefully introduce into my working life
An enjoyable two days – much learnt about where I can improve and do things better
Both Steve and Julie are clearly skilled at what they do and therefore need no suggestions on improvements.
All material was presented clearly with humour where appropriate, thouroughly enjoyed the course.
Good ideas to take into my role, would promote this to my manager to make things better.
The instructor presented the course very well. It was a great 2 day learning experience. It made me think for sure. I will use of these skills.
Very enjoyable course & very well presented.
Practice exam samples to help with revision would be useful.
Highly recommend to management.
Fantastic presentation, very well presented by Steve however some of tasks/activities lost me a little bit.

Really enjoyed the class, the conversation around topics and hearing people’s stories! Only thing I felt that could be improved was the links made between the course books and the discussions in regards to the exam. Great information in practice[…]
Excellent location & facilities. Excellent content & delivery. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It had the right content and was extremely well delivered. Steve is certainly someone who inspires confidence. Review material.

I have taken lots away from this course, especially regarding mentoring and KB articles. I have a project in mind for work 🙂 Thank you!
Some modules are meant for management and used for a support rep.
Engaging and enthusiastic. Open to discussion.
Great course content, well presented at a great pace. Steve was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the content. thank you very much!!
I found the activities & content very useful, reinforcing my view on the area I need for personal development, particularly in the area of negotiation
– The fact that it as a small class was very perfect. – If the class were bigger then it would make sense to expand the course to 3 days?
Excellent presented class which went above my expectations
The class is well designed and fits superbly with what I do. This reinforces my work environment.
