Whether face-to-face or virtual, our workshops meet the same golden standard, thanks to our expert facilitators. We have compared participant responses from our feedback questionnaire from 2019 and 2021 – the pre- and post-COVID-19 environment. We have also listed some outstanding comments received this year both from our face-to-face and virtual workshops. Nothing has changed, albeit the medium of our workshops!

Feedback from our virtual workshops

• ‘The content flowed well and allowed me to absorb the content properly.’
• ‘The facilitator handled the two sessions very well and her style of engaging with participants was great. She made me feel comfortable and confident to engage in the discussions and feedback.’
• ‘I enjoyed the interaction with other attendees, especially learning from their knowledge as experienced ELs.’
• ‘The facilitator was a sensational trainer, she has a special knack of being able to get us all to participate. She really listened to the issues we were having and came up with practical solutions on the spot. It didn’t take long for the group to realise she was the real deal. She never judged anyone if they got an answer wrong but rather encouraged them to think a little differently until they were able to work out the right answer on their own. I really respected Amanda’s style as a trainer’
• ‘The best and most engaging course to date, I was motivated throughout the course, primarily due to facilitator, thank you!’
