Siobhan was clear and knowledgeable and consistently prompted for any questions during the session. I found it to be interesting with new information coming through what is an ever revolving area at the moment.

West Kent Housing

Many very useful things, particularly enjoyed the RACI roles and responsibilities model, the obligations and choices slides and also the property compliance scorecard approach. Letrice did a excellent job and delivered the training impeccably.

Excellent course content which was right on point. It was well laid out with the right level of detail. I will certainly be adopting many of the prescribed approaches that were discussed and explained through the training. Excellent value for money.
