Proven Results Through Training
“It was helpful to have a trainer that was very knowledgeable & experienced in Assetplus. It was helpful working through a case study to see what information goes where and it is helpful having the crib sheet to complete as an aid as we go through Assetplus. In practice I have continually felt I was going backwards and forwards trying to remember information so this sheet should reduce the need for me to do this.”
“I really enjoyed the content of the Course; I found it really useful to explore different ways we all interpret the questions asked on the PDAT and drill down into what is best to go where. This Course will no doubt improve the quality of my assessments and they will be less repetitive”
