Have attended a couple courses with SEK in Margate and Ramsgate and both have been great and so helpful. Trainers were brillinat, paced the time well and allowed space for chats. Materials were given, useful resources shared. I have been able to help the groups intended and feel so much more confident than before.

Thank you Ali for your feedback. We love being able to offer training that people are interested in and the AI course was no different (although new and full of information).
We are glad you found the course material helpful - we know you absorb more if you can focus on the learning without having to concentrate on making notes, especially as there was so much information covered. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thanks Natalie. We are glad you enjoyed the Introduction to AI course, there was so much information in it and it is only going to increase as AI does!
We think our trainers are great anyway but it's always nice to hear the same from our participants too. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

I attended the supervisions and appraisals training webinar and found the information really helpful and it shone a light on my own practice and how I conduct supervisions and how I might enrich the experience and productivity from these. Thank you

I am fairly new to the industry and am learning every day, I would just like to say how amazing SEK has been since the moment I first contacted them about some free training they were offering. They were quick to respond and also came back to me very promptly with any queries or questions I had. The team has a wide range of knowledge and is very passionate about the work they do. I would highly recommend them.
Angie presented the course Mental Health for Managers. Angie was very professional but still had an approachable and very down-to-earth approach. The course was relatable and I learned an awful lot in just a few hours. I liked how the course was interactive and we were put into break-out rooms so we could get to know one another and discuss our own experiences without thoughts and feelings on mental health.
I personally could not recommend SEK enough for anyone in the Kent area.

We're delighted that you found the 'Mental Health for Managers' course valuable and that Angie's professionalism, approachability, and down-to-earth demeanour resonated with you. Creating an interactive and supportive learning environment is essential to us, and we're glad to hear that you found the breakout room discussions helpful in sharing experiences and insights on mental health.

Excellent Physical Intervention Training
We recently had SEK at our care home to provide our staff with Physical Intervention training.
All of our staff gave me positive feedback and found the course interesting and most importantly very relevant to their job role.
They all agreed that the trainer was excellent.
