“Very interesting and key for helping draft clearer, concise expert reports. Assessing the case study, embedded an understanding the structure of the expert report and the role of the expert. The tutor was wonderful, funny and very knowledgeable.”

“The course was fantastic and thoroughly explained the requirements of an expert report. It was really insightful and I only wished I had this training before writing my first expert report. I enjoyed walking through some past cases and the judgements, as well as the sample case study. A great tutor who delivered the material clearly and a great pace, she was really friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions well.”

“The course directed me to think more thoughtfully about ways to effectively plan before writing a report. In particular the stages in report writing, the differences between fact, assumption and opinion and the formalities of writing a report. The sample report for critiquing allowed delegates to critically think about the importance of analysis and conclusions.”

“Having just issued another CPR report I have to say a big thank you for this training, it’s quite literally revolutionised the way I approach these reports making my thinking and presentation much clearer.
It’s a very good course, particularly the section on the actual reports. My only regret is not doing it years ago.”

“This was an excellent training day, I now feel completely comfortable in undertaking my expert witness report writing duties for clients. The course was well structured, firstly going through the theoretical and discussion aspects, then critiquing example reports. The study guide is well structured and logical, it is a perfect tool for me when I write future reports. Reviewing and critiquing the expert witness reports was an excellent way of consolidating skills and understanding how best to construct expert witness reports. As on all the modules of the course, Penny was excellent, her ability to recount case examples when answering individual questions is fantastic and in doing so, she provides context. Penny is an exceptional tutor.”
