Good indepth training that covered everything we needed for this level.
Engaging, informative, clear. The practice sessions consolidated the learning; experiencing practical 'result before my eyes' was very encouraging. Appreciated the care towards participants experiencing extreme weather conditions. Great session. Thank you
Great session on GR module!
Really well-run course. Ran to time, with good levels of audience participation (not easy on a Zoom call with a large audience, particularly on a hot day).
Great experience with like minded people. Participants at various stages of the course which proved to be invaluable. Sharing knowledge and experiences. The facilitator was knowledgable, kind and understanding. I enjoyed every minute, despite the heatwave, plenty of breaks throughout the day. I learned a lot.
Really enjoyed Sarah Bramall delivery on this module. I felt this was my favourite so far and I took so much positive energy from this day. Thank you so much for making it a great experience Sarah! The coaching academy often say, ‘trust the process’ and at the start of training it can be difficult to hold onto that. Even now and I’m 1/2 way through. However on days like this one they are a great reminder of how very true that sentence is. So I’m personally going to use that as my anchor, ‘trust the process!’
