"It was really fun, engaging and informative. I have taken a lot away from it, especially all the lists of things to avoid while writing and what to look out for while editing. I really enjoyed the exercises."
"The course trainer engaging, knowledgeable, and great at encouraging discussion. The course included a good mix of trainer-led work, exercises, and discussions. Bonus points for encouraging engagement over zoom!"
"Making sure that all participants felt comfortable, gave us enough time to finish the exercises and Patsy was very encouraging, even when I got stuff wrong! Thanks Patsy!"
"Made the session go by quickly - didn't feel like a full day! Lots of short, snappy examples, simple tasks and activities and plenty of time for questions. Thank you!"
"The course was excellent - really engaging and interesting and Patsy was really flexible in letting me develop work that I need help with in my job. Thank you to the course organisers also as we had to rearrange due to COVID and then you allowed me to join online which I really appreciate."
"Making us feel welcome in an online enviroment when circumstances are different, the connection with the tutor and support was still there despite that. It was great to be able to still interact with other people whilst learning a lot. The knowledge of zoom, with polls and breakout rooms was great!!"
"I enjoyed the small class size as it allowed for all participants to be constantly involved in the discussions. The breakout exercises were interesting and a great way to reinforce the theory were had covered."
"It was great to be welcomed at the door, so it was clear from the beginning where everything was and what to do. Patsy was brilliant and bubbly, and even though I struggled with a couple of tasks I still left feeling good!"

"I found the venue easy to fine, the facilities were excellent and the training content very useful with a good balance of content and exercises (no death by PowerPoint!)"
"They whole day was enjoyable - especially thanks to our trainer Patsy. She made us all feel comfortable and welcome from the start, which helped get our ideas flowing. The group size was great for creative writing (six of us), as there were enough people to share ideas, but not too many that not everyone got to say something."
"Everything was very well organised and information was clearly presented. Our trainer was lovely and she presented us with great examples we could use for our business."
"I liked that the class sizes were small and everyone had a chance to participate. I also liked that we were encouraged to use our own examples as it made the training more relevant."
"I thought the day was really well organised and enjoyable. The classes were small which made for effective learning which was very efficient. Really liked Patsy, I thought she was very engaging and enthusiastic."
"The course was very informative, the trainer took on board and focused on areas we struggled in particular as well as the general course. Very friendly group and trainer, made me feel very relaxed as I always feel uncomfortable attending training sessions in subjects I am not confident in. I do feel that I can take back these skills in my personal development at work and lifestyle and input into my team to make our writing effective and correct."
"Patsy was so well prepared. She created a really safe space to share our work. I learnt so much and pushed the boundaries of my writing. It made me think outside the box and gave me key practical takeaways that will be so helpful when I am back at work."
"Everything - really informative and gave really useful tips. Liked the examples and getting to write from different perspectives. Very useful. Liked the teamwork and feeding off of others ideas and how they write."
"I really enjoyed this course and especially the variety of techniques used to bring the content across and the audience engaged. The trainer was very knowledgeable, an expert in her field."
"Nice space, welcoming environment and good food and snacks! Helpful tutor, very approachable and great development and insights through the day. Thank you!"
"I was very satisfied with the trainer and the course. The afternoon session when we applied the morning skills to our working environment was particularly helpful with our own reasons for attending and to learn from the trainer and others."
"The trainer was very nice and she was great at explaining things.
The refreshments were nice.
There was a lot of content that was easy to learn from."
"Providing a friendly atmosphere to make you feel welcome. Would definitely come back again on future training courses. Trainer was amazing and so helpful!"
