I loved the training! Ruby is a lovely and incredible facilitator, and so articulate. The best thing was the hands on practice, easy read is very easy in theory, but it's so much harder than it appears (for me!) to keep things simple, with fewer words and letters. I could have learned the theory and gotten so little without the practice in session, but given the practice I feel like I have something tangible to take from the session.

The training was brilliant and exceeded my expectations. I thought I had a good understanding and knowledge of the topic, but I learnt an incredible amount! Ruby delivered the training in an accessible and concise format allowing everyone to participate in a way they felt comfortable. I highly recommended this training and am so happy I completed it.

Your training was informative and engaging. I loved learning about this method of communication and can see how it will shape many of our comms pieces going forward. I wrote this quote down from the session 'It's about providing tools to allow more people to join the conversation.' This summed up Easy Read training perfectly for me. I'd highly recommend Embrace Access to anyone looking for Easy Read training.
