Feedback from participants

“This week has made me more confident, and believe that I can use different training styles – not only PowerPoint. The use of music opened my eyes.“

“Excellent workshop; an eye opener; excellent course; outstanding; very motivational, very useful; wonderful; challenging but worth the effort; overwhelming!!“ 

Feedback from Anniversary Review – how has the learning been applied?

“One year on, I apply what I learned every day; I try to change, not just with training but with everything I do; I try to find different ways to achieve goals, and try and help others benefit from my actions when possible.  I usually ask myself: is there a better way to do this, and if so why am I not doing it?” 

“The Transforming Training Seminar I attended last year in Aberdeen has been very beneficial for me on all aspects.  I am responsible for the delivery of QHSE Supervisors courses in North, Central and West Africa. My skills have been developed and, personally, I feel at real ease when delivering. Thanks again, and I hope to attend another advanced session in the future.”  QHSE Manager and Trainer, Africa
