Course reviews

The training was really useful, and I especially enjoyed the wildlife section. The course struck a good balance between humour and content, the sessions were engaging and thorough. Although there was a lot of information to absorb, it was presented in a very informative way. The level of detail provided was great without being overwhelming.

I found the course well-structured and explained. To be honest I’ve come away from long info packed days still energised. That doesn’t happen too often on training courses so I’d say it was a well balanced and delivered course. I enjoyed the modules, practical exercises, and insightful content. Great facilitators and interactive sessions.

I found Tim to be very knowledgeable and an excellent facilitator. He provided great knowledge and expert advice at the right times, delivering the content with excellence and engagement. The course had a well-balanced mix of theory, practical activities, and fun. The tabletop and river exercises reinforced what we learned earlier.
