Client Comments - Training

"It's been a while since the training, but I've been seeing the results from the training in my current assignment, and I just wanted to send you an e-mail letting you know how much the training has helped me. I attended the training on “Internal Audit Report Writing For Impact” and “Internal Audit Presentation Skills”  in June 2009. 
 
The report writing training including the handouts helped me understand how I should be planning and organizing these evaluations.  As a result, I've implemented a process that I can apply to each new evaluation.  The results are concise project steps that I can use to not only easily compile a report but also provide evidence and detail on the findings and recommendations. 
 
While the report writing training helped me fine tune my reports and process, the two days on presentation skills (while painful--I didn't like that video camera!) made me look at presenting from outside myself.  It helped me focus on:  what is it I want the audience to know, what style of presentation should I use -- for example, weighing who my audience is and how to best manage the audience.  I used these techniques shortly after the seminar.  I received positive responses from the audience even though some of them were hostile to the recommendations.  One person even said, "Wow, you are really good at this."  
 
I think this seminar was the most timely, appropriate, and valuable training that I've ever attended. " Marianne Teklits - Larimer County, Colorado

 

"All lectures were very knowledgeable on the subject and gave excellent presentations " Zahir Kazir - Total SA

"The presenter is simply the best. his experiences and giving examples to explain points, I found very valuable in recalling what I have learned" Olga Hlobo

"Very, very useful.  We have a starting point now and a lot of general knowledge" Karen Kleyn - Telkom SA 

"Very enlightening especially the computer auditing risks .  Lecturer and presentation was exceptional .  Lecturer well read, well traveled abroad experience which is very relevant to IT and internal audit" Nosipho Ncoto - Nkonki Ntsaluba

"It has been a pleasure to work with Richard to run a number of courses for Plus Specialty Training in Dubai. His hands-on experience and anecdotes to back up learning were commented on by all participants who thoroughly enjoyed his training style. I am looking forward to working with Richard again in future to produce more successful courses." Claire Louise Whaites
