Quotes from delegates from past courses
"Style was excellent. Lots of techniques and good practice ideas were provided." (September 2010 course)
"This has been an excellent course - giving me confidence as an ECLO." (January 2010 course)
"Made you think how your actions and behaviour have an effect on the service provided." (June 2010 course)
"I have really enjoyed the course, all modules were extremely useful and I feel more confident in establishing my role as ECLO." (June 2010)
Margaret Fuso from Northern Ireland stated that the ECLO managers there have all completed the course - they felt better able to manage people doing an ECLO role having completed the training, and were also able to fully understand their role and its emotional demands.
(Margaret Fusco, ECLO Manager, RNIB Northern Ireland - June 2009 course)
"As the recently appointed manager of the RNIB's ECLO service in Wales, I felt it was essential for me to attend the course in order to understand the role and its complexities. The course gave me the insight I needed. Without it, I would have struggled to comprehend all the role entails. I feel it has also enhanced my credibility with the ECLOs I manage."
(John Tucker, ECLO Manager, RNIB Cymru - January 2010 course)
