    customer comments

    Many thanks for a useful course last week - I should be putting my oral briefing into practice very soon as I will be temporary PA to my Director one/day week for the next 6 weeks!
    Stephanie HMRC

    Although the course packed a lot in, I found it all very helpful.

    The speakers were really good, interesting and had amusing stories, really useful hints and advice

    notes

    This course should not normally be undertaken if you have completed the Effective Briefing course.
