Herky is amazing!! I'm so grateful that I had him for 3 courses and especially for my very last Life Strategies course!!!
You can tell that Herky is seriously knowledgeable and experienced in the classes he teaches. He is also very responsive and uses lots of humour and fun!!!
Thanks guys for a great learning experience in this program. I thought I was going to hate this course, but it ended up being one of my favourites. Very, very great experience - thanks to all!
I was kind of thrown into case management without the training two years ago. If my peers are working the same way this is a good course for them to ground themselves into case management standards.
I liked the pace of this course [Job Developer], and some of the feedback from other students was insightful and relevant, and I came away with some good tips. I also liked most of the "tip sheets" and found some useful content. The assignments encouraged creative thinking, which made them interesting to do. I appreciated that the textbook readings were short and to the point, though for me much of the content was very general and didn't add much to my learning (I have worked in this field for a number of years - I think someone brand new to the field would have gotten more out of the course in general). The "theories" section of the course was the part that for me really stood out as needing an overhaul - there were way too many theories presented far too briefly, and so then to ask us to apply these theories seemed an exercise doomed to be superficial. I'd recommend a quality over quantity approach and pare down the list of theories to just a handful of the most significant. If I were to suggest an addition, I'd like to have seen a section on trends in resumes and cover letters, since this is a practical part of the job that I deal with everyday (far more often than some of the other topics covered).
This was my first online course experience. I loved it !!!! I enjoyed being able to schedule my time around completing the course requirements and being able to work from home.
Diana has a lovely online presence and is very helpful and knowledgeable !!!!!!!
Super happy with the customer service from registration, to directions on how to move forward with the course work, managing the site and working through the course work. A very pleasant experience.
As a new Case Manager, the Career Development course has helped me gain the foundations
Great course, every service provider working with the public should take this training.
Jayne has taught this old gal new things that I thought I already knew. She is a great instructor and provides excellent constructive criticisms to benefit your future. Thanks Jayne, keep up the great work!
Kudos to you Diana, amazing instructor and facilitator. Thank you Life Strategies, it was truly a valuable experience.
The course assignments challenged me to tap me into my inquisitive self in a good way.
Ethics for Career Practitioner has helped me gain a deeper understanding of what is ethically accepted and morally right.
My Life Strategies experience has been amazing, this is my first online course and it was well laid out and offered a lot of useful resources, articles and experiences from others.
If colleagues are interested in psychometry I would suggest this course because of the course content, length, and realistic assignment work.
Enjoyed the provided readings, and the ability to conduct assessments followed by writing reports. I found this course very applicable to the real world and my future career goals.
I really enjoyed the course and felt the knowledge I gained was well worth the cost involved. I would definitely take another course from Life Strategies
This was among the more relevant and practically applicable LS courses I've taken so far. I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone in a coaching role.
The assignments offered lots of opportunity to dig into the material more, and to obtain some practical experience in its application. I found this very beneficial.
Unlike many online programs I have taken or enrolled in, the website is very user friendly, instructors are supportive and reachable, always offering reflective and constructive feedback. I learned to write a lot of tip sheets in this courses.
Kristine was amazing, accommodating and understanding. She is a great asset to your team.
I learned a great deal of information. We have to take this course and I think its a great place to take it. I like that it can be done in 2 weeks via distance as we live in a remote, isolated community.
The assignments definitely helped me put my learning
into context. I appreciated having the opportunity to apply the theories and
models to my own life and career path.
Kristine is an excellent instructor! Always
appreciative of her feedback and her active engagement and participation within
the discussion forums.
It provided an excellent background to the world
of case management, and I can definitely say it helped provide context and
clarity around the role of a case manager.
This course was an amazing overall experience,
it supported and facilitated my learning and allowed me to learn the
fundamental Career Development Foundations, Emerging Theories and Models. I was
very impressed with the ease and flow of the course and would definitely
recommend it to any Career Counselor seeking to broaden their knowledge.
Throughout our so busy lives, we forget about recharging ourselves, or sometimes, our old resiliency tools become less effective, not working properly for the stage in life we are in.
I've heard lots of positive feedback from participants about changes they've made or new ways of thinking they've adopted because of participating in the course.
I think all the Employment Counsellors working for the same organization should all have the same training as it is so relevant to the work that we are presently doing.
It was an excellent, challenging program and I am proud I finished the program as I gained knowledge and skills that will help me with my everyday work.
I would recommend the course because I found the information and learning material very relevant. I would tell a friend or colleague the course if beneficial but very demanding and time consuming.
Excellent teacher, available a great deal of the time, answered within a day. The assistant was equally helpful and available and knowledgeable. Excellent excellent course. Thank you for developing it. Most thorough and indepth online course I have taken. I appreciate being held accountable to participation, deadlines, and the need to learn and get 80% to pass. This is the first online course in which I have had those aspects, and I really appreciate it because I don't feel like I wasted my time. I feel like I grew, which is really important for me.
It can be very convenient as it's online; many great resources offered; can connect with the instructor.
Discussions offered a way for me to learn more about my colleagues that I interact with because we're near by but also those further away that I've never met.
Intense training on what is required to perform this role effectively. This course is structured very well to propagate thought toward better practices and procedures.
