I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the LPS Company for the Strategies for Success programme that you delivered 7/4/03. Everyone involved on day, students and staff, thought that the day was very good, as the evaluation sheets show. I feel I must comment on the delivery of the study skills material, as both presenters were viewed as excellent.

The presenters kept the kids entertained for a whole day, which is an achievement in itself, but to be teaching them about revision techniques as well, what can I say, Fantastic!

The pace and humour of the Seminar was perfect and made for a very enjoyable yet informative day. The feedback from the pupils was 100% positive, the majority rating it excellent and stating that they didn’t feel the course material or presentation should change in anyway.

Please pass this feedback onto your presenter, and rest assured that we will recommend the seminar to colleagues in other establishments and will use you again in the future.

He was humorous in a very appropriate way that was commended on every evaluation form, and the girls found that the techniques worked, which also seemed to surprise them! He was flexible, because our needs were slightly unusual because of the timing of our seminar, yet managed to incorporate the message we were trying to get across to the girls. The evaluation forms are unanimously positive, and many felt that they had learned something that could now be used practically in their studies.”
