Course: Career Development Professional
Although it has been challenging studying a Level 6 course all virtually, I haven't felt disconnected or isolated at all. Throughout the course I have felt supported by my Skills Coach and can easily get in touch to check my progress and ask questions whenever I needed to, to support my learning and development. The workshops were a brilliant way of networking and sharing best practice with other professionals across different areas and roles of the career development sector. I have really enjoyed being able to improve my professional practice through the course and have already recommended AC Training to colleagues from other schools in our Trust to sign up too. It's been an invaluable experience and I'm so grateful for all those involved in making the course happen.

Excellent course for new consultants - gives you the tools and framework for thinking about how you can develop the department and manage larger/multiple teams. The online modules and workshops embeds theory which you put into practice throughout the course. It was also a great opportunity to network with the other consultant learners on the course. Would highly recommend this course for all consultants.

You have helped me to understand how I am a leader, as well as how to be a better leader. As a result of your coaching, I have become a better leader and this has also benefited those around me. I feel more confident in managing various situations with team members due to the training I have had. I also am more aware of what I do and how important it is for us in healthcare to be leaders and to understand how we are leaders to our teams. Various colleagues look to us for leadership when situations happen on the ward, and I feel better able to understand and deal with this now. You also have some very good coaches such as Amy who do amazing work with apprentices such as me and are a credit to your team.
