-Katy Corfield – 31st July 2020 – Online Assertiveness Skills Training Course
A great course, packed full of great tips. This was a first online session for Revolution Learning and it was executed very professionally, with three trainers present which tripled the value in terms Read More of knowledge, experience and tips shared. I’d certainly recommend this course to anyone who wants to communicate with greater impact and effectiveness. Thanks Revolution Learning.
-Lisa Butterworth – 2nd April 2020 – Online Assertiveness Skills Training Course
I found the trainer and the other Revolution training staff very helpful and informative. The presentation was very detailed and had lots of Psychological approaches and theories of Assertiveness Read More which was very good.
It was very difficult for the trainer to fully engage with us as the training was online and he handled it well but if it was a classroom based course I think we would have been more involved and engaged.
The only thing I would say is that it would have been better to include more about what assertiveness is. There was lots of theories of behaviour and communication styles but I don’t think any of them specifically explained assertiveness.
But it was very informative and well delivered and I would definitely use Revolution training again.
