So glad I did this course! I learnt a lot about teaching methods, approaches, micro-teaching, procedures and policies etc This for me is important as I've been overseas for 20 years, thus out of touch with the UK educations system. Suzanne is a fantastic trainer! I initially felt slightly intimidated in the first session. However, she knows how to make you feel relaxed and yet at the same time challenged me. The outcome is I feel very confident about my ability in teaching.

I enjoyed this course and it was relevant to my job role. The trainer (Su) made it enjoyable and i can take away new ways to teach.
Leanne p February 10, 2023
I really enjoyed this course. I particularly enjoyed the micro, teach session I presented. Thank you
Andrew H February 10, 2023
I really enjoyed the training course, I feel I have learnt a lot from the course and will be able to implement a lot of what I have learnt going forward to become a better trainer. There was a lot of information to take in but I feel Sue delivered the information in a fun way which was easy to digest. I am new to training so didn't know what to expect but overall was happy with everything and look forward to using what I have learnt.
Christopher N February 9, 2023
Suzanne was a really good teacher, very clear with the learning outcomes and continuously related the training back to our workplace and where it will benefit us. It has added great value to my role and how I can deliver my training to a higher standard.
