"It was great to hear some different perspectives on the course. I also appreciated the trainers use of content and the time they took to go through everything, making sure it all made sense."
"Providing really good examples to the sections we were learning. Allowing a good amount of time to practise what we have learnt. After the course, we get the notes sent through to use (very handy)."
"Rosie was brilliant, I hugely enjoyed the course and would happily have done a week-long course with her on proofreading. It was so interesting and informative, easily the best course I've ever been on. Please pass on my thanks to Rosie. (I've edited this comment about four times having all the knowledge she has imparted swimming around in my head!)"
"Everything was great - the venue was inviting, people were friendly, inclusive food/drink options and extremely knowledgeable trainers. Thanks so much."
"Piers Ford was an amazing tutor, he detailed examples toward my place of work. He understood the 'in house style' and has left me feeling positive about areas I have previously struggled in and not had the confidence to ask about. I cannot recommend Piers enough, he was an absolute pleasure to learn from."
"Piers was so clear and effective in communicating ideas and views and concepts.
I really enjoyed the fact Piers took the time to ensure each member of the group were involved and engaged with the exercises.
I have learnt so much and feel that I can use everything I have learnt to use in my role.
Thanks so much to Pier!"
"Friendly but structured tutoring, good amount of breaks for the right amount of time, balanced feedback required from everyone, house rules set out but not too strict, helpful documents shared to all."
"Good breaks throughout, really nice lunch, felt very safe and as though the day was well organised. Very knowledgeable trainer so this was so helpful."
"The trainers was extremely knowledgeable and provided lots of practical tools for us to take away to improve our proofreading processes. The examples used were all relevant to our content. Rosie created a nice, relaxed atmosphere and made learning about spelling, punctuation and grammar fun. Thank you!"
"This was my first time attending a course at the establishment and I couldn't be any more impressed. The environment was lovely and the centre team were so polite and welcoming. I would very much recommend this to anyone else and I really look forward to an opportunity to attend more courses here in the future."
"There were plenty of exercises, which was helpful. Going through answers in the group provided some interesting discussion points, and flagged up some areas people commonly have problems with - I'll keep an eye out for them when I proofread!"
"I found the whole course incredibly helpful and I will definitely be using many of the tips and hints I learned today in my daily work. I would really like to develop more and take a grammar course."
"The size of the class is great, great for discussions and debates. The environment (building + staff were super friendly). Piers was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the issue!"
"Very engaging and friendly trainer with vast knowledge and experience. Great course materials and very useful lessons. Excellent food. Great facilities."
"It was very organised and hands-on which made it easy to retain the information. Class size was also good which made it easier to have valuable discussions"
"Food and drink was great and the breaks were well spaced. Facilities were lovely.
My course itself was well organised and the trainer was knowledgable and very well prepared. It was an enjoyable and useful day. Many thanks all."
"Having such an experienced trainer, with a wealth of experience in editing and journalism, with a lovely manner, making everyone feel valued and welcome, lots of tips and the a very positive enviornment"
"Being adaptive to various working practices, industries and proofreading requirements. Interesting examples used throughout the course kept it very interesting."
