“Presenters were engaging, personable, and humorous.  They were able to provide good feedback in a supportive manner.  It was clear they are experienced in their fields and the experiences they brought as examples helped me understand the content.”

“Presenting the material and the overall structure of the training was done very well.”

“Both presenters were engaging and worked well together. Both were clearly very knowledgeable about the subject matter. They were friendly and got to know individual personalities in the group, which I think helps people feel seen and more connected when attending training virtually. Presenters were on time and tracked well with the material we were provided.”

“I really enjoyed the format and the information...they were very knowledgeable and engaging. I feel like I have a strong foundation in assessing risk of re-offending sexually motivated offenses. “

“Keep up the good work. All the presenters were informative, knowledgeable and easy to engage with.”

“I liked the style and pace of the workshop. The discussions, examples and videos were helpful. The personalities of the presenters were fun and kind.”

“A lot of small group exercises, scenarios; constructive feedback; willingness to share their knowledge and experiences.”

“Your enthusiasm was amazing. The stamina it must take to teach this course in such an engaged manner is very impressive. Both instructors knew the material inside and out, and were able to give useful examples.”

“Wow! I did my social work courses online for 2 1/2 years due to the pandemic, and this is by far the best training I have received. The presenters were incredibly good, they made me want to learn, friendly, funny, they knew their content, they knew the answers to our questions. Mini activities after breaks; genius! (especially when you spend 8 days with the same people) necessary to have a less formal and heavy atmosphere. Technology is often a disadvantage for training, but the presenters fixed the bugs quickly and they adapted easily to the situations.”

“The trainers were very supportive, knowledgeable, and understood different styles of learning. I felt very comfortable asking questions and did not feel judgment when I did something incorrectly. Personalities of the trainers added to the warm engagement during the training.”

“Loved how engaging each day was and that there were opportunities for everyone to speak, not just the same individuals each time. Made the environment comfortable for people to be “wrong”

“I cannot emphasize enough how well these presenters did ... Best training I have attended in my many years as a SW. They truly know their stuff and it is very apparent....all while helping us to realize there is no perfect interview. The use of group work is extremely valuable in this course as are the practices. Their feedback and guidance is truly amazing. It is also a privilege to have one of the presenters be a developer of the course and tools ! “
