We have not (in my view) covered all the points set out in the programme

The content is very interesting, but the presentation lacks dynamism.

3 / 5

Parts 2 and 3 were covered in depth, whilst Parts 1 and 4 were covered less thoroughly. Despite the trainer’s best efforts, the course content is very theoretical. It lacks the practical methodologies, tools and resources needed to analyse the supplier base and implement the supplier evaluation process within organisations. However, all the topics in the programme were covered.
