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!!

Excellent trainer, very friendly and knowledgeable. It ended up being a one-to-one session, which I was nervous about at first, but he immediately put me at ease, built rapport, and generally did all the things he ended up teaching me about as key interviewing techniques! I would definitely recommend this course and Piers as a trainer.
