I found the level of instruction to be very good and the course content extremely relevant. My only critique is that 2 days was not enough to really grasp and be able to utilize the content well - I would recommend lengthening the session.

Our instructor Bill was outstanding and built a rich learning environment. Bill was knowledgeable, inclusive, and brought the learning to life. He did an excellent job of delivering the course content, but most importantly created opportunities from our course participants to dialogue and learn from each other. The training facility was not ideal. It was up a steep set of steps that were hard to manage for those with mobility challenges. Highly recommend a different facility for future offerings.

It was very helpful to go through the process step by step. The instructor captured all of the things we wanted to learn and made sure we discussed every item. It helped to have break out sessions to discuss real issues and processes from our current positions to determine how we could apply what we were learning.

This was the first Succession Planning training I attended. My company is about to implement this process also for the first time. The programme content was very helpful in resetting the focus on the why? that is the Strategic Focus. Each module assisted with the progressive implementation steps supported the Toolkit which I will use in our process. Question about transparency were addresses and various models that can be used. The quality of interaction among the participants provided valuable lessons learnt and the facilitation by Tanya promoted engagement and openness to share and good direction. I will be sharing the learnings with my Team and embarking on process from this month. I look forward to taking the Workforce Planning certification programme next. Thank you.

Just completed the Strategic Workforce Planning Certification Class. I felt the class was good overall, and provided a lot of great information. However, I felt the material would have been better spread out over another day or so. I think it was a little rushed, and there was some sections that were more detailed and required more attention than others. I also think we could have used more samples to work with, vs. always using our own organization's information. I think it would have provided a better foundation for our learning and provided clear examples, vs. us having to try and figure a lot of things out, when this is our first time going through the material.

The facilitator was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, patient and kept excellent time. The content was so rich, however, that it probably needed more time than the allotted two days to do it justice. And some of that time might be spent working through some of the concepts in workshop mode. But make no mistake, I'd certainly recommend this program!

Recommend addition training days for an audience with limited knowledge/experience.

I've taken 3 virtual certification classes with HCI, the lessons/training/virtual platform/instructors are all great. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that from a federal government organization with strict regulations, policies, and standardized pay/benefits/entitlements the instructors lack of knowledge of government employment and how to correlate industry standards to government standards. It makes it rather difficult to translate some of the training into government structures. Only other minor statement would be that certain terms in industry business are used in government service however in government they have different meanings/functions...as an example. The term "Role" in the training I just completed, the instructor and the class had a disconnect because the use of that term in government is different and made it very confusing to align.
