The instructor was informative and gave sufficient feedback on how my interviewing techniques could be improved. Overall, I enjoyed this class, although it was intensive and it challenged my skills. I definitely left the class knowing how to structure my interviews so that they are efficient and effective.

The content was relevant to the work we do. Deborah was engaging. Small class size but she accommodated the "extra" time with more examples. Walked away with good tips to carry into the workplace.

Overall, i had a very positive experience with the course. The training was informative, engaging, and relevant to my professional responsibilities. I gained practical knowledge and useful techniques that i can apply in my work.
I felt like I had a good set of interviewing skills with the class, but I gained a lot from this class as it gave me the opportunity to hear multiple perspectives of how other fellow Auditors conducted their auditee interviews and the practice sessions helped as well. Kudos to the instructor.
I liked the slides especially because I could easily just edit the class material right there with my notes.
