“A brilliant combination of practical & theoretical - I've taken away a huge amount from today: thank you!”
Head of Department , Mill Hill SchoolThe course was delivered brilliantly by an incredibly engaging trainer. I have learned a lot and now have strategies that I can use in my role.
Great pace - covered lots of areas of management skills and gave me the confidence to continue to develop and follow my senior leadership aspirations.
Exactly the kind of course I needed: every minute was relevant to my job and I will definitely be using strategies that I learnt today. I now feel more confident about the trickier aspects of the job such as having difficult conversations.
Tony is an excellent trainer: I learnt a huge amount from his practical ideas/examples/role plays. Not just theory, but concrete, practical advice.
Really good to have the chance to talk to people in similar situations and with similar issues. Small group size encouraged openness and allowed for great discussion. Thoroughly recommend.
From first making contact, Tony proved himself to be exceptionally professional and helpful. The course itself was everything we asked for and more besides, including plenty of practical advice for busy teachers. Thank You
