"Piers is an excellent, knowledgeable and congenial trainer. The course was excellent and well-paced with a good balance of real-life examples and theory. Overall, a fantastic course that met all my expectations."
"Piers was very knowledgeable, friendly and provided some great examples. I found the course really useful and it helped give me different insights on interviewing techniques and to take alternative approaches in the future. Martin was really helpful with the booking too."
"I was extremely satisfied with all aspects of the course. I liked the fact that it started at 10am as it allowed me some time to recover after flying in the night before. Piers was very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly with good examples. The case studies and role playing were very helpful, and I have a lot of take-aways to put into practise in my job. Thanks a lot!!"
