Very well organised, to time, good content, and well delivered. [Speaker] was engaging and delivered a really good balance between lecture content and breakout sessions. I had already done project management training and was hoping to get more of an insight into practical implementation of techniques. The course was very good at this, with multiple breakout sessions to practice this implementation.

The strategic thinking training was highly valuable and well-executed. It offered a balanced mix of theory, practical tools, and reflection. The sessions were thoughtfully structured, and Laura’s expertise made the content engaging and relevant. I came away with a clearer understanding of strategic frameworks and a renewed confidence in applying them to complex business challenges. I would definitely recommend this training to professionals looking to enhance their strategic mindset.

The overall content was strong and informative and I believe there was a good mix of discussions, workshops and information. I wanted to deepen my understanding of clinical trial monitoring, particularly the common pitfalls and how to manage them effectively and how to best monitor online/off-site. I believe I’ve learned several valuable methods for identifying and evaluating issues when something goes wrong in a clinical study. I found the sections on risk-based monitoring approaches very insightful and applicable to my work. I also gained insights into ensuring patient safety and maintaining data integrity, as well as the principles of risk-based monitoring. The session on root cause analysis was especially valuable, and I plan to implement this approach in my own clinical study. Overall, I feel that I’ve achieved the goals I set out for this course.
