  Virtual Training Feedback

  
  
  “I really enjoyed the session and find that TARN are streets ahead of other national audit providers in terms of training and support”
  
  “Good course, well presented and very interesting”
  
  “I found the short quizzes/interactive parts very beneficial (e.g. would this case be TARN eligible?). It breaks up what would otherwise be a long time sat watching/listening and gave me a chance to process the information and apply it to a real-life example”
  
  “Knowledge of presenters were great, confident, friendly and engaging”
  
  “It's particularly good that you can revisit the training via the recording”
