“The practical case studies were very good and the tutor very knowledgeable.”

“The session was very good, useful, and informative. The case studies and the questions/answers helped with understanding. The Tutor was very good and held my interest for the day.”

“I gained a much better understanding of legal skills, evidence and practice and statement writing. The practical element of the course was really useful for confirming learning. Great session presented well and really informative with useful information. Would recommend to anyone in an enforcing role. The tutor delivered the session with great professionalism and presented the session clearly, passing their knowledge on to all.”

“I found the case studies most useful as it gave us a chance to apply the knowledge we had gained throughout the session to a ‘real life’ scenario, to improve our understanding. It was useful to have multiple case studies for different topics, for example, critiquing and commenting on two witness statements gave a bit of variety and allowed for comparison between the two, to be able to recognise good and bad practice. The initial feedback given by the tutor on the first case study was very useful and aided my completion of the next case study. Another example of this would be the exercise in which we had to make contemporaneous notes watching a video and critique our own notes, followed by the tutor critiquing them, to see what we had missed or point out where we did well. I found the actual content very interesting and thought that the session was run well over zoom. I thought the information given to us in the booklets regarding the subject was excellent, very detailed and useful to annotate throughout the day, adding explanations and comments given by the tutor. The tutor welcomed and encouraged questions and was sure to answer them thoroughly, so we understood, taking the time to go through the answers in depth. She advised us to set our own personal objectives which she made sure she covered so that everyone had a sound understanding. She was very knowledgeable and explained the subject very well.”
