Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Training, Page 6 Reviews

Expecting or forcing people to use preferred pronouns is compelled speech and isn't acceptable. While more people than would openly admit it find the whole issue to be nonsensical (outrage and cancel culture being rife right now) it may be worth mentioning it is much easier and likely more acceptable to remove pronouns in our speech for people with gender preferences and just use their names. (example Sally said instead of she said). People should not be facing legal or disciplinary action based on that and this course seeks to reinforce that position. The rest was fine, treating each other with respect and not being rude while preventing hate and discrimination against those with protected characteristics is just basic human decency.

Didn’t learn you nothing that you don’t already know

The course hypocritically asserts that diversity of thought is crucial, whilst pushing a singular viewpoint which goes well beyond the current boundaries of UK employment and equality law.It also makes the very kind of petty errors it seeks to lecture others on: "Don't assume people's behaviour and preferences etc. based on their backgrounds..." followed shortly after by "You may want to put the kettle on..."

Too long winded, even with breaks, its difficult for someone with dyslexia to take in such intense information and some of the questions and multiple choice answers are worded in a way that you can misinterpret what is being asked or misread an answer. A little ironic for Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Training.

God you make These courses overly long winded. why use one sentence when you could stretch it out to 5 paragraphs? I suppose you expand these courses to justify your extortionate prices?

Despite acknowledging that partner is a better term to include everyone during the training, the training refers to sexual orientation of "Same sex, opposite sex or either sex", which excludes nonbinary people. Having completed this training again, a year after I first noticed and raised this, it has not been fixed yet.

I recognize that EDI training is important especially in today's work setting; however, it is needs to be delivered in a way so that we are engaged. It's 60 minutes long - which is quite a long time for training - and the content is not engaging despite it being hugely important. I would recommend looking at 'The Inside Man' series to gain some inspiration as I was quite excited to see what happened next and I learnt a lot during the episodes at the same time.

The content was so basic that I found myself switching off. The correct answers to the comprehension-check questions were sometimes comically obvious. I really question the value of these kind of courses. The interface forces the viewer to play the videos, but a bored or disenchant viewer can simply click through them with the sound off while doing other things. Personally, I would anyway prefer written material. Online comprehension testing is a good idea, perhaps, but discussion in a safe space among trusted people is the best.

The presentation from one of the presenters came across as patronising and the presentation could have been much shorter as a lot of what was being said was common sense

As someone who learns best through text, videos are not ideal. But a good transcript was included, which was fine - except that progression through the training was dependent on *video* timings, not *transcript/reading* timings (reading which was roughly 1/3 of the time taken for the video to run). Training must allow a faster clickthrough, paired with a harder test to ensure no wasted time while preventing skipping of training.
