It was overall a very good webinar that gave a nice overview of the Clinical Evaluation proces. A shame it had to be a webinar due to the Covid-19 situation, it would have worked better if we could all meet in person and also have small conversations in breaks and so on.

Very good teacher. No doubt that she knows what she is talking about and I got more out of the training than I had hoped for. I really liked that we were so few people attending the training, so there was plenty of time to asking questions and discuss the topics.

Very efficient course, explanations were clear in a rather unclear (!) topic, interaction between speaker and attendees promoted the exchange of experiences and opinions. The speaker was well-informed, conveyed the information efficiently. There was a team spirit in dissecting the different aspects of the course's subject. A successful two-day seminar worth of attending.

Janette was very patient and professional. She allowed the group to share ideas and engage with each other well. I thought she recognised that on this particular occasion the group engagement was positive and she adapted the course to accommodate interactive discussion. Highly recommend this one.
