People Who Have Taken Our Course

Read What Our Participants Have to Say About Their Experiences With Our Course

I really enjoyed the scientific facts and visuals to help me understand trauma.

I really liked the visuals and scenarios. There were clear links, structure, and flow, with examples to support the content. I learned a lot about the three parts of the brain and how they link together—it makes more sense of the reactions some students may have.

I really liked that it was bite-sized and doable in a working day which did not add stress. It enabled me to think about individual students I am working with and put them in the context....really helpful.

Informative and relevant information shared. Evidence based research. Great slides and visuals. Great questions were asked and answered.

The course was well organised and structured. A very complex and complicated topic that was presented in a way that was easy to connect and make sense of. I appreciated the way the Q and A session was done - it was easy to follow, not overwhelming and kept the session moving.
