Stress Awareness & Management Training, Page 2 Reviews

Gave the impression that they had to spin it out to a set length. Too many repetitive analogies that added nothing to one another (boats or balloons, not both!). Really quite annoying to watch (speaking as somebody who has had time off work due to stress) - and some generalisations that were not true, e.g. no, we don't always necessarily have the tools at our fingertips to get stress under control: sometimes a situation may be genuinely beyond what is reasonably tolerable. And it was quite an achievement to come up with 20 questions on this course - again, quantity won over quality. Most Ihasco courses are not bad - but this one is below standard.

Having completed this course, I'm now further behind with the things I've got to do. Doesn't this cause me more stress? If you are stressed, take a break, relax, try to take some deep breaths ...... Get away!!!!!! You put together a training course to tell me this? The manual handling course is very good, full of useful information, but this one is a complete waste of time. Sorry.

Very generic and unhelpful. Very unengaging and bland delivery.

Stop with the unskippable videos. Not everyone learns well by watching other people talking. The only reason I didn't give 1 star was because there was a transcript I could read at my own pace, but even then I couldn't move to the next part until the video was finished playing. That meant I was constantly shifting my focus away to something else while I waited to move to the next part of the training. I would have been more focused on the training and more likely to actually learn something without the unskippable videos on there. Once again, STOP USING UNSKIPPABLE VIDEOS!

Does not spend enough time of those in managerial roles who need to be aware of the stress of those below them, that is created by their decisions. Poor managerial decisions can be the biggest creator of stress but often not realized by those managers, and needs to include information for those managers on how to consider how their decisions can effect those under their control and how to prevent increased stress for those workers.

I really felt the results from the iHasco stress tests were inaccurate as a measure, with nearly every symptom ticked, I came out as having very low stress levels, my doctor has told me my stress and anxiety levels are dangerously high. I am now on 3 types of medication to try and alleviate some of these symptons, something doesn't add up.

Although great there is a course acknowledging stress, I felt this course did not really understand the approaches of mindfulness and meditation where the central focus is to approach in a non-judgmental way. Instead this course used judgmental language such as 'over-sensitive', it's actually quite harmful when you think about it. I'd like to see this course incorporate or be reviewed by a mindfulness teacher who could advise a more neutral approach. Or remove the concepts, but if you're going to reference mindfulness so much get some input from an expert in the field.

Some questions ambiguous. Took far too long to make basic obvious points. Video module for this topic not appropriate as I could have read a document with the same information in a fraction of the time.
