Very good class. Each instructor was well prepared. There were specific examples given to support the class material. There weren’t any war stories with no relevance to the material. Being a new supervisor I learned a lot and validated a lot of what I’ve been doing. I generated a list of things that I now know I need to go back and look at in my policies and procedures. At no point during classes was I waiting for the class to end or felt like things dragged on.

Overall the class was very informative. Some subjects I felt should have been covered more indepth (ICS) while others subjects felt unnecessary for a first line supervise class (EDP/Autism).
