Participants' Feedback
What do Course Participants say about the
Program?
Below is a representative sample of the responses our participants
have provided in the 3-month surveys completed this year about
their experiences on the Program. We invited participants to look
back at the course and asked them: "What was the most memorable
aspect of the course?" and "What did you think about the course
generally?" These are their responses three months after attending
a Scotwork Program:
- "Gaining a fresh view of something quite critical to our
business which we take for granted and think we do well ... and
finding we dont !"
- "80% of the time was hands on, you were not sitting &
listening the whole time, very interactive."
- "The most memorable aspect was the final negotiation. I was so
involved in it that I couldn't sleep the night before as I kept
going over my strategy for the following morning. I think it is
fantastic that a course can make you feel this involved."
- "Being filmed and then watching yourself back on the big
screen. The tutors used a great tag team method to walk everyone
through the role play and extract every last bit of juice from the
situation. Exceptional technique."
- "How people can go in with a "win it all" mindset and miss out
on potentially more positive outcomes."
- "I think the most memorable thing from the course were the
negotiation and review sessions which followed each of the
lectures. They provided a wonderful opportunity to use the skills
we had just learned in the previous session."
- "Getting the free upgraded amazing suite at the Como afterwards
by using my newly aquired negotiation skills!"
How have you found the
course generally?
- "From my perspective the content was excellent. I hadn't
previously had any formal negotiation training so the content of
the course really helped to provide a structure and has improved my
negotiation technique. I think the length of the course was about
right also - long enough to cover a lot of content but not
overload. Both the lectureres were top notch also."
- "I thought the course was excellent and, as you can see from my
responses, I have certainly gained enormous value from it."
- "It is some of the best training I have had, and I still rave
to others about it!"
- "Found the course excellent ... my only comment would have been
I would have enjoyed perhaps even another day of discussion and
practical examples..."
- "It was enjoyable and I could relate it direcly to professional
and real life situations. The way the trainers taught the course
using real life examples was great! The best training course I've
ever done, and I've done a lot."
- "We use some of the terminology learned quite regularly and I
have been doing my usual thing getting more out of every dollar
spent. I negotiated my way into quite a significant cache of motor
cycle riding gear as a result of a failure on the suppliers behalf,
so that was a nice personal gain, but the work gains are
significantly higher. The most recent suite of works were
negotiated down about 15% and the scope heightened with no cost
incursion in return for us providing better services to the crew of
workmen."
- "You should develop refresher sessions. This would be very
useful for ex-students."

The request for longer courses or refresher sessions is quite
frequent in our follow-up surveys and, as a result, we have just
started offering a series of Open Refresher
Programs.
The comments above have all been sourced from participant
responses to our follow-up survey
between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2009. The survey report is
anonymised to ensure that the confidentiality of our clients is
