A really engaging and informative course. I will be able to use a lot of what went through today in current internal policy development.

Victoria S. Works for a charity Writing policies and procedures training course

Thank you for a really good training course! You were obviously so knowledgeable about the subject and presented everything clearly and in a logical order. The pace was just right with breaks and partner working. Asking people to share answers and thoughts kept it interactive and us all engaged. The feedback from the rest of the team is positive and although we all have slightly different roles, we each got something out of the training.
