I consider myself fairly experienced in bid writing and have been fairly successful. To your credit I learnt a lot from you which I will certainly put into practice. I felt re-invigorated and encouraged. You definitely know your stuff. The course was certainly packed with information. Gave me plenty to think about and ways forward. I’m more used to courses where they pack half an hour into a full day!! For a person like me who writes lots of proposals it was exactly what I needed. Straight to the point, less "water", more sense and fantastic examples! The course was excellent. I picked up some great new ideas and tips. It’s hard to find good quality info these days re attracting funding – but on this occasion the juice was definitely worth the squeeze! I thought it was really useful training and you managed to fit a huge amount of information into 2.5 hours without it feeling too much to take in. Well done. Remarkably concise and useful. Plenty of useful do's and don'ts. Having attended dozens of training courses over the years, it was a very pleasant surprise not to have my time wasted with pointless break out groups, workshop exercises or unrelated show and tell experiences. I really enjoyed the workshop yesterday. I thought the pace and delivery was excellent and it has really given me the confidence to move forward. Thank you so much – definitely money well spent. I will now be more time-efficient Did just what it said on the tin. I thought the workshop was very informative. It was an interesting couple of hours, style delivery was to the point and no fussy power point’s to contend with. We learned a great deal from your courses. I liked your engagement with the subject and your personal anecdotes. The course material overall was truly inspiring! Put things into perspective for us. I did like your matter of fact approach I thought that your presentations were really excellent and will, I know, prove extremely useful in the coming months. I feel much better prepared and have a much longer to do list now! A brilliant workshop. I shall recommend your workshop others. The pace, delivery and content was tremendously helpful and informative. I thought you as a trainer were friendly and relaxed, easy to be with and kept us engaged and you made learning interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed your insights and anecdotes. It was great and great value for money also. I thought that learning in a small group was really good and meant that we were able to communicate with you a lot easier. Thank you so much for your professionalism, sense of humour and all the knowledge you kindly shared with us. I now realise I have been emphasising many of the wrong angles. Informative, to the point and engaging.I just want to thank you for a most informative session. I certainly picked up some great ideas and hints to enhance my future bid applications. I found it very informative I feel a lot more confidant about the process of bid writing. I would certainly recommend your course to others.
