Dualism Training Reviews 121

I recently participated in the two day MHFAider (England) training delivered by Dualism Training (15th and 16th January 2024), which was facilitated by Sue Rosemund. I was particularly struck by the effort Sue put into calling each of the attendees prior to the course start date, to introduce herself, the course and Dualism Training. This was a personal touch I've not received or experienced from any other training provider (usually they only correspond via generic emails), and it definitely made a difference to day one of training as we had all spoken to Sue beforehand making delivery feel relaxed, comfortable and genuine.

The course was well structured, the pace was perfect, and the other attendees were attentive, and genuinely interested, which was evident in our whole group and smaller breakout room discussion groups. There is a lot of content to cover, but Sue expertly guided us through; and I particularly liked and appreciated her honesty, compassion and willingness to seamlessly inter-weave lived experiences as well as scenarios into discussion and roleplay/practice activities.

After day one I was mentally exhausted as I continued to process and review what we’d covered, but excited for day two, and to complete our evening wellbeing task (do something you enjoy for an hour without any distractions). Day 2 whizzed by, and once again Sue skillfully put us at ease, regularly checking on our individual wellbeing, and understanding of course content. Additionally, she stayed online after both days of training to answer questions and chat privately if people wanted to and/or felt they needed to. I would definitely recommend Dualism Training, and I will certainly be undertaking further training with them in the future, once I complete the RSPH Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid now that I am eligible.

Finally, I would add that the course materials were excellent, easy to follow and use, and the support and information on the app is very helpful.

My instructor, Sue, is absolutely amazing. During the training, Sue showed me a key, how to talk to my colleague? How to ask right questions and how to recognise a sign of mental health issue. She was very patient and very open. I wish that every instruction is like Sue.

My course was the Mental Health First Aid (on line), my Tutor was Sue Rosemond.
The course was extremely informative and very challenging, but the experience, expertise and knowledge that Sue had in her armoury was second to none.
I have passed all the information on to the necessary people at our company for future training to be carried out via Dualism Training.
Excellent Company and Staff.

I can recommend Dualism Training - I attended a Mental Health First Aid Course, 4 mornings over a two week period. It was well paced and professionally and sensitively hosted by Sue Rosemond.

I felt the presentation was well put together easy to follow and the lady was very mindful of our own feelings during the course

Jane was a great trainer, very engaging and informative, kept the sessions lively and didnt do death by powerpoint

Wouldn't have known at all how to approach the conversations, was really informative and interactive, with breakout rooms, questions throughout etc. I have ADHD so I struggle with courses that are just an instructor talking at you so really rated this

In my view the training was excellent because:
1) The trainer had the breadth and depth of knowledge and experience to train in a relaxing and engaging style.
2) Was able to bring the topic to life with lived experiences
3) Made sure every 'student' was included and involved
4) Ensured the pace matched the group's progress
5) Helped to build confidence through knowledge and understanding.
6) Was very happy to take questions at any point

Content was delivered in a concise, professional manner, with all slides etc clearly marked and legible.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dualism for any training requirements.

I recently completed the MHFA Refresher Course with Dualism Training. Sue was an excellent presenter who kept everybody engaged the whole time. With break out groups and time to talk everyone was involved. Throughout the whole time Sue ensured that everyone was comfortable while discussing the serious issues involved in MHFA. I highly recommend this course with Dualism Training.

This was an excellent course - the trainer was superb and really made the course content relevant and memorable for the small group of attendees. She also enabled us to share our existing, and different, levels of personal experience and reasons for participating - which meant that we all learned from each other too. I feel confident about my role as a member of my firm's MHFA team now and there is a real security in knowing that Dualism's support will be there for me going forward.

Fantastic training and instructor. Really galvanised the group and provided opportunity to translate learning into practice. Highly recommended.

Excellent content and well paced. Jane the trainer was fantastic too!

I found the session really useful because we did an overview on what we had previously learnt in our Mental Health training, so it was great to revisit topics, with a prior knowledge and understanding that I did not have first time around. This meant I was already in the correct space. The breakout groups were really useful as well, understanding how others, from different organisations, had put their learning into practice and that we were all on a similar journey.

Completed Adult Mental Health First Aid Refresher training course.
Course content excellent, well guided learning, and development of learnt skills. Tutor was knowledgeable, engaging and supported us all the way through the comprehensive and intense learning.
Course support self mental well-being and health, and provided useful tools and resources to our journey in supporting colleagues and peers.

Great content to the course, interactive and very informative

Jane was very knowledgeable at the training for the MHFA Refresher course. She listened to everyone's points and made the training enjoyable. There was a lot of interaction, which was good.

Fantastic course - well paced, presented and with a wealth of useful information - dispensed in an easy to digest and communicate fashion - i am more confident than when i began the course and really enjoyed the group :)

I would love to learn more about MHFA and look into maybe delivering a course one day?

Its been a difficult year for me so far, however i feel this is one of many positives i can add to my list

Thank you so much

I took the Mental Health First Aid online course and thought it was brilliant. Jane was a brilliant instructor and I learned so much from her. I would highly recommend taking any course they offer.

This online course was one of the best I have done. Jane was absolutely fantastic, she made it so interesting and was very likeable. She had a lovely nature and always included everyone. She was very encouraging and at the end I felt confident I could be helpful to others. Thank you Jane.
