Loved Phill's examples. Really helped to think of practicality in the real world
The template tool was also very comprehensive
Giving me justification as to why trialling is actually a compliance requirement AND some definition of Who should trial and Why. This is GOLD for me!
Everything was great, especially the information Phill provided to us about the need to involve the candidate in the review process of the Assessment Tools
Knowing now to use candidates as part of the trialling and validation process
The best part was validating the actual work that i do, in relation to reviewing and trialling tools
Thank you Phill for your outstanding presentation
