PDP's legal notice

Updated:  05/02/10

 


 

 

The small size of the group and the knowledge of the course leader meant that all my questions were answered and I returned to work with more confidence than I had before
Terry McCarthy –
Head of Casework Parole Board for England and Wales

 

 

Delivered in a small workshop and facilitated by two experts - there was excellent group participation and input on the Freedom of Information Act
Mark Stradling – Corporate Strategy Officer Daventry District Council

 

 

 

  I found the course very useful.  It was innovative on many different levels.  First, it was good to restrict numbers - this led to a relaxed atmosphere in which each delegate felt free to interject with questions rather than being "talked at".  Second, the length of the course was right - sufficient information about the subject but not too much.  Finally, the course materials were very good.  All round a very good course
Janine Leigh, Thames Water

 

 

 

I found the session to be extremely useful. Damien covered all aspects of EIR in a thorough and entertaining way and I would recommend this seminar to anyone interested in gaining a good grounding
