"I would
like to focus on CPD in Scotland because I feel there is not enough good value
CPD available for therapists on topics that are individually tailored to meet
their requirements. Therapists offer clients a tailored made service - so here
is the CPD equivalent from me to you! I hope to offer you friendly, informative
and thought provoking material with a fun and relaxed atmosphere."

What Former Diploma Course Students and Workshop Participants Have Said
|
Debbie
ascertained our individual learning styles to ensure her lectures were not
only student focused, but incorporated our personal preferences and
abilities. This showed us that Debbie was thinking about our comprehension
and not worrying only about her delivering a “script”. She was aware
that we all learn differently. |
|
Debbie is
aware that students are more likely to learn in a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere and she ensures this is the case. You never feel silly for asking
a question or even just asking for clarification of a point. She also asks
throughout the session if we understand and if she needs to reiterate any
point. |
| Comprehensive
content, well presented, very helpful handouts. Wide range of creams to try
and lots of samples supplied to take away. Very enjoyable and feel that I
have expanded my knowledge base. |
|
Lectures/seminars
incorporate the use of PowerPoint, visual aids, handouts and verbal skills
to project her objective and uses a good balance between these
tools. |
|
Debbie encourages us to get involved
with the sessions. This not only makes the session more interesting but it
makes us take control of our own learning which is great. |
|
Debbie is
knowledgeable and friendly, though professional and competent and always
delivers good learning session. |
|
Thank you
for all the help and support you gave me with revision. You are a marvellous
teacher and have so much to offer your students.
