"I found the full training very good, totally adapted to my work requirements. I would normally find remote learning very impersonal and the thoughts of the full day online training did not appeal to me. However, Gary had planned variety and breaks throughout which really helped. He ensured there was a very relaxed atmosphere and therefore good interaction by all. Course content was tailored to the needs of the participants. Gary’s own practical experiences added to the learning."
Esther Mooney, Health Promotion Officer, HSE Sligo, February 2022
“Everything worked very well. Really enjoyed the aspect that the participants were listened to and guided the direction of the two days. Robert’s facilitation was excellent, the training was engaging, informative, very practical, open and honest. It was an inviting environment where I felt comfortable to contribute.”

"Gary was a brilliant facilitator, so welcoming and engaging. Really kind to all participants and got us all involved. The breaks were well-spaced. Content was interesting and applicable to my work. Doing the course from home was convenient."

"The mixture of slides, videos and breakout rooms kept the course interesting and engaging. Robert was extremely engaging, patient and happy to answer any questions we had. The way Robert mixed up the different ways of teaching the course kept it interesting and engaging."
