Feedback - July Researcher Course - 31/07/2018
From different students: 1 - Nothing to dislike about the course, one of the best courses I have attended. The course content was relevant to my job and catered for all different learning styles. I particularly liked the last day and working as a team to collate all of the previous few days learning. 2 - I can’t recommend this course enough. The lecturers were excellent. I normally hate training courses, I saw them as a necessary evil, they were dry and boring and I got more out of them when I went home and did some self-study via reading. However, this course has me so enthusiastic, I want to use all the skills covered even though my job probably doesn’t warrant it the use of all of them. I am hoping to do the Analyst Course in due course, funding permitting, and if it’s only half as good as the researcher course, I know I will be on a winner. 3 - What I liked most about the course was the useful tools and working processes I was able to grasp and take away. The Open Source Intelligence section was especially interesting and really helped me gain knowledge on certain working practices on the internet that I wouldn’t have otherwise known.
