How delegates describe the EDI Workshop

I attended EDI training with Brevity and found the course to be insightful and thought provoking. The course materials and content were very good especially the videos and I took a lot away from it in terms of insight.”

Cheryl Standing, Head of People & Operations, Cornerstone Nurseries

“I liked the role playing section which set the scene very nicely. I also thought the interactivity was great – hearing not just from the trainer but the other participants as well. I also liked that it wasn’t too theory / definition heavy – it was more of a practical start to learning more.”

Susan Richter, PR and Communications

“I really enjoyed the EDI Training. It was explained very clearly and made for lots of thought provoking conversations and lessons to take away from the course.”
