Nebulous and ineffective
This training is incredibly vague and not actually helpful in being able to identify extremism or terrorism as it forms. I came out of it thinking that any sort of non group think take nearly counts as radicalization. Who makes up the definitions for when something is a "radical" cause. Why doesn't the training actually talk about the ACTUAL problematic movements out there that spread hate and intolerance like the cult of masculinity, hatred towards Islamic people, Jewish people, Black people, Indian people, hatred towards trans individuals and other LGBTQ+ people. Those are the actual problem radical movements, but this training almost makes it feel like supporting trans people is a radicalization. Truly awful experience and do better next time, though I hope I never have to watch this ever again.
Informative and simply explained.

It was short and to the point; largely keeps the main aim centre stage.
I have already been through extensive Prevent training for other employment and have lectured on terrorism and radicalisation to the UK and NATO. So I rather appreciated that it basically condensed it down to the most important points and did not waste anyone's time. If I was being pedantic I would recommend ensuring that the safeguarding message does not become counter-productive and considering more explicit advice on the prevalence of specific, high-risk ideological threats to keep the package in line with the Shawcross Independent Review (2023). That said, this package's emphasis on ensuring the stopping of terrorism and extremism is welcome vs pre-Shawcross packages I have seen.

Ambiguous and too much emphasis on red flags
If these red flags were applied to the general population a very high percentage (perhaps 30 to 40%) could be regarded as being radicalised. No attempts in this module to recognise that fact and too much emphasis on red flags rather than direct evidence.
The course was a helpful reminder.
A reminder to look out for any indications that some students may be at risk. Good training.
Good delivery of prevent duty
Clear dialogues and content
