The venue was central and easy to get to. The lunch was just perfect. The structure of the course content was excellent, the pace was just right. The exercises were very useful. Rosie's knowledge was excellent.

Very informative examples, presentation and knowledge. Allowed me to work at my own pace.

Rosie was a really fantastic and patient teacher

Excellent and engaging delivery. I have learnt useful tools and methods that I will definitely be using in my day-job.

The course broke down complex grammar and punctuation rules into digestible lessons. I appreciated the real-world examples and exercises that reinforced each concept. I now feel much more confident spotting errors and refining written content. The course helped me develop a sharper eye for detail and a more methodical approach to editing.

Very informative, interactive session that kept me interested throughout and taught me a lot of what I didn't know.

Great trainer, really informative and easy to follow, good examples and very friendly - 10/10!

Engaging teacher. Clear, concise learning materials. Enough breaks.

Providing examples that related to the techniques covered and then feedback on my work.

Creating an open and friendly environment. The trainer was great at making everyone comfortable

Very engaging course and Nathan made it really personable :) 10/10!

Really liked the interactive work set that we then went through together. Was great to feel like I was actually involved instead of just attending a lecture!

The structure of the day and the teaching.

Friendly, very knowledgeable staff, taught in an approachable, easy to understand way - learnt so much in a day. Thank you!

It was a thorough course and I appreciated the attention to detail and looking at different types of punctuation and common mistakes. It was a lot to fit into one day, and I perhaps would have appreciated more time on commas - I think they warranted a separate section as they always trip people up so much!

Piers was excellent, I learned a lot, he helped so much and was always welcoming to answering questions - thank you!

Piers was so knowledgeable about proof reading and about the English language. He really understood what the individuals in the room wanted to get out of the session too. Total pro and a really nice guy.

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.

Giving a good structure and environment for learning

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).

I really found the course helpful at thinking about proofreading at a more in-depth level

Detailed examples and interactive learning. Really appreciated both the training sheet and PowerPoint presentation to run us through.

Clear and concise presentation. Covered everything that was needed. Learnt quite a few nuggets that I can take back to my job. Enjoyed "testing my knowledge" on the activities in the workbook. Thank you.

Full explanations as to why sentences fail and the magic of why they can work to be clear, concise and offer clarity.

The course was very helpful, and presented in an interesting and engaging way - many thanks to Rosie, who was an excellent trainer.

I think the whole session was really good and insightful. Thanks very much!

Rosie made the content relevant to our area of work so it was aimed for the correct audience.

Explaining in a clear and easy to understand way.

Creating a relaxed environment where I could express myself

Making things clear, listening, and creating a great environment in which everyone felt comfortable sharing and contributing

Great trainer, very clear and engaging, good descriptions and lots of good tips.

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!)

Piers was a very engaging and knowledgeable trainer. Course material was relevant and extremely useful to put theory into practise.

Great teacher, delicious lunch, and such a great place to be and learn!

Everything was great - the venue was inviting, people were friendly, inclusive food/drink options and extremely knowledgeable trainers. Thanks so much.

Rosie was excellent - light-hearted, friendly but extremely informative! Regular breaks and digestable information. I will leave today with a much greater awareness of proofreading.

Everything! The running of the day, the training itself, the facilities. Patsy was great, really engaging and we have learnt a lot. Thank you!

Patsy was great, she had wonderful energy, she clearly did in-depth research on our company beforehand and did her best to make the training relevant to us. She was engaging and energetic throughout the day, and had examples to make it easy for us to visualise. The exercises were fun too, and the food was great! Thank you Patsy!

Great session and examples. Helpful resources and tips.

Very informative and knowledgeable. Examples were relevant to our job roles giving us helpful solutions to current and future problems.

Approachable and knowledgeable trainer, great resources and a delicious lunch.

The course was very informative, and the learning environment was excellent. Facilities, lunch and building was lovely.

She has a lovely personality and made the whole training enjoyable and fun. Very much enjoyed it and definitely recommend.

The course was really informative and Patsy was an excellent trainer, really engaging.

It's been fantastic, I really appreciated how Patsy had amended the slides and included direct CIPP examples in context. It was a really fantastic course, and so well delivered. Kudos, it's been brilliant!

Really good use of practical tasks to practise what we spoke about. Piers was very knowledgeable and engaging. I enjoyed the session and took away some useful tips to improve my proofreading.

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 very knowledgeable and his content was presented clearly and effectively. The breakout sessions were useful as they raised queries from several perspectives. Thanks so much for a brilliant and informative session

Engaging with good examples, working through case studies and making the subject genuinely interesting.

Rosie was wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable. I was surprised how interesting the course was and how much I learnt! Really great

Really good pace, and really useful to work through Piers' examples. In fact, I proofread a document during the lunchbreak and felt much more confident doing so. Piers ran the course really well, with good breaks and a nice balance of talking / exercises in groups or individually. I've learnt a lot! Many thanks Piers!

Engaging, personable, and very knowledgable.

Lovely lunch as always. Very helpful staff and trainer.

Patsy is knowledgeable and engaging with the audience. From starting the day not feeling confident in Proofreading, I now feel that I have learned useful tips and grammatical knowledge.

Patsy really brought the course to life. She reminded us of the things we'd learned at school (grammar and spelling) without it being dull. Really enjoyable course.

Friendly and welcoming. A really lovely back in-person experience.

Providing a very good course and trainer and excellent facilities.

Fantastic informative session, thoroughly enjoyed the structure and the key tips

Taking time going through examples, open for questions.

Patsy was fabulous. Incredibly enthusiastic and inclusive and she has a great way of explaining things so they are really easy to understand. Thank you!

Checking that we had the correct apps before hand (Zoom for example) It was very useful and efficient.

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.

Trainer was engaging and enthusiastic. Good balance between theory and practical.

Piers was a great teacher. Very good at explaining and offering personalised suggestions to each person.

Great and knowledgeable trainer, clarified everything clearly

Our trainer was extremely friendly and able to answer all our questions effectively. Using a piece of our own work at the end was especially useful as it highlighted areas for improvement.

Piers was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly, with lots of useful tips

The exercises delivered by the trainer was good!

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.

Very friendly staff and excellent trainers

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!

Engaging trainer. Somehow made proof reading interesting. Thank you!

Really enjoyed the course. Good mixture of information, examples and activities to practice.

Very very knowledgeable about all aspects and very helpful

Great customer service, the staff are always so friendly. The tutor has great knowledge and they're always willing to answer any questions.

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.

Lunch, professional feel while being laid back, not being criticizing, including everyone in the group, LOTS of examples.

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!

Being friendly and approachable at all times during the day. Very knowledgeable and engaging trainer.

Brilliant trainer, engaging and entertaining, made the course very pleasurable even though the topic could have been quite dry otherwise.

Course leader very knowlegeable and approachable. Always giving explanations of points.
