simple and I just need to practise what I have learnt. Thank you to both of you.”
“Excellent way of training, probably one of the most effective and rewarding sessions, in
groups I normally feel that the time is not used well!! I have been able to show my
colleagues the useful things I have learnt. Good initiative from SERC. Thanks”
“The support was great and so useful for me as it has improved my confidence using
moodle”
“Communication was clear, the trainer responded to all my queries. I feel more confident
in using Moodle.”
“I would use training again. It was clear and left me feeling confident about my Moodle
abilities.”
