Don't just take our word for it

See what others had to say

I just wanted to say thanks for the session last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the workbook was great, and I definitely benefitted from the bullet points in each section. I'm going to think far more about the structure of their work. 

The content as always was spot on!  Writing analysis is my least favourite area so I have been looking out for a session such as this and I wasn't disappointed!

I found the session really useful and the sample you gave us (together with your own critique) ties the whole session together.  Now I feel like I'm more comfortably at an 8!

Really helpful for a new assessor!

I loved this session. It really brought home the need to look in detail and think about the whole picture. I have been assessing for a long time and I still took lots from it. Seeing your example was the icing on the cake. Thank you

Brilliant training. Thorough CPD with advice for concise report writing.
