I enjoyed this course and found some useful tips to improve my experience of dealing with challenging people.
brilliant
Over a good experience.
The course doesn't offer actual ways of solving issues and ways of de-escalating situations. Face-to-face training with scenarios related to your workplace would be much more useful.
Disappointed and a lot not relevant to our job
Quite a lengthy course and time consuming.
very good
good course, I actually learned and enjoyed it.
