It was great to read through last week’s feedback and hear what learners thought about their training sessions. The comments give a real sense of how the courses landed and what people found helpful.
The Manual Handling All-Wales Passport Refresher course in Merthyr Tydfil drew a lot of attention. While a few people mentioned an unfortunate issue with a toilet causing an unpleasant smell throughout the building, it didn’t seem to overshadow the training itself. One learner noted, “The instructor is actually a very good teacher. He explains things clearly and makes sure everyone understands what is being taught, making the course easier to understand.” Another said, “The trainer was excellent and covered everything.” It’s clear the trainer’s delivery and knowledge made a big difference despite the distractions.
Emergency First Aid at Work sessions also received some thoughtful comments. Learners described the training as “very interesting and interactive” and praised the trainers for being friendly yet professional. One shared, “Absolutely lovely lady and she was fab training us, feel very confident after the training thank you very much.” Another appreciated the atmosphere, saying it was an “enjoyable training with important skills to learn” and highlighted how engaging the group was.
On the Diabetes & Blood Monitoring course in Cardiff, learners expressed feeling more comfortable and less anxious about the topic after their session. “I feel less scared about diabetes than before the course,” one person mentioned. Others called the course “very good and professional” and “fully educative,” showing how well the material was conveyed.
Learning Disability Training brought compliments to the trainer’s knowledge and approachability. One participant suggested a bit more focus on sensory issues in ASD would be helpful, but overall described the session as “fantastic.” Another said simply, “Really good trainer,” while a few others found the sessions “educating and amazing.”
Prevention & Management of Violence & Aggression sessions in Merthyr Tydfil also featured positive words. One learner mentioned how much they enjoyed the training, describing the instructor as “such a great teacher.” Overall, the variety of courses last week seemed to connect well with learners, with trainers making sure content was clear and accessible.
