I thoroughly enjoyed the webinar, particularly for its interactive elements. The Q&A sessions, practice opportunities, and Pop quizzes were highlights for me, enhancing the learning experience by encouraging engagement and providing real-time feedback. These interactive parts not only made the content more relatable but also allowed for a deeper understanding of the topics discussed. The presentation was clear and well-structured, and the speakers demonstrated extensive knowledge and passion for their subject matter.

That is was so interactive - we could always ask and the presenters always has good examples from the real world to illustrate their point. Interaction with the other course participants was also really and useful. It was particularly useful for me to get input to some of the CER content: claims, CDP etc.

Both Janette and Barbara have been great! The course content was very interesting and informative... I really liked how interactive it was - the speakers used polls and several open questions to make the conversation flowing. The workshop was also a great way of exchanging ideas with other participants and put in practice what we had just learnt

It is very difficult to make training engaging when performing it remotely but I felt this webinar was really successful from the assistance from Management Forum, to the course content and the interesting speakers. The attendees were really good too as they made the most of the opportunities to participate and ask questions. Overall, I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
