First News
"Always a great venue, the facilities, staff and provisions food. Intersting, informative, relevant course with good range of resources to refer to after. Excellent instructor, hope to have a course with her in future."
Royal College of Psychiatrists
"The trainer was great, made us feel comfortable, listened to us. Very informative and valuable training, a good mix of group work and looking at a video and doing a dummy run of minute taking and flip chart work. It helps that the trainer has worked for many years and with many companies as it brings true life experiences into training. The venue was good, tea/coffee and lunch facilities and good amount of breaks."

"Donna was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable and explained things in a way that related to everyone, not only within a work environment but within every day lives. She made me feel much better about my minute taking and made me realise that I am actually doing a good job."
Monex Europe Ltd
"It was better than expected. I expected to come along and learn but the programme content was so much more engaging. I like how the day started with a 'charter' of how things were going to work so I immediately felt it was a safe place to talk about my role. In turn this meant the content was made more relevant to me and I got more out of it. I look forward to putting everything into practice!"
