The facilitators were a fantastic duo and really complimented each other. I really enjoyed the practical activities, working in pairs and teamwork. The classroom was calm and conducive to learning, we were happy to ask for more information if needed. Although quite intensive, the trainers and the other students did a great job of keeping the content interesting and participants engaged.

“This course had me learnt a lot of things from the course materials, assignments and our very knowledgeable and experience facilitator. With what I had learnt in this ICETS training, I hope that in the near future I will be a competent leader and investigator. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be enrolled in this program with ICETS. This had been tense, but a training that is worth doing. So on behalf of myself and my family, we would like to thank you.”

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Great experience Nadine was a fantastic lecturer, and her passion and knowledge of the course content really shone through. I really appreciated her professional and personable style.

Though there was a lot of content to cover in the nine days, the lecturer, the facilitator made it very easy and pleasant to follow, it was well communicated and explained, lots of good practical examples, lots of interaction with other students. It exceeded my expectations because of the practical approach, and real case scenarios. I have done other courses with other providers and this one was the best.

One of the best facilitators I’ve had throughout my many education experiences. She clearly has a true passion for helping others understand investigations, was knowledgeable and very approachable.

Excellent, both facilitators were very knowledgeable and due to their past employment were able to draw on past experience to provide scenarios and context to course materials. I would say this has probably been the best training I have attended!

The trainers were very engaging and helpful and provided a safe space for asking questions and to speak up if you didn’t understand. Marking of assessments was super quick and the feedback given was very encouraging.
