STÉPHANIE M.

5 / 5
A very pragmatic approach based on experience, combining theory and simple but concrete and factual exercises, lacking structure => no support or lesson plan beforehand. You can sense the trainer's background in NLP, TA, coaching, etc. and his desire to respond specifically to each person's needs => very punctual.

The second day was more interesting. The tests will enable me to work upstream, but it's a shame that some of them are skimmed over due to lack of time. Perhaps I've spent too much time on professional interviews (especially if they're no longer compulsory in 2026...).

FIRAS D.

3 / 5
The course deals in depth with the subject of management in companies, but the transition from expert to manager is not addressed, despite the questions. However, it was the title of the course that piqued my interest: Passer d'Expert à Manager (Moving from Expert to Manager). Too many exercises with little added value for my taste, particularly on our psychology. I would have preferred the course to deal with concrete management cases based on our own situations.
HALIMA B.

ALEXANDRE E.

Very motivated and committed trainer. The content seems to me to oversimplify the complexity of human relations in a professional context to be really applicable, but it does encourage us to reflect on our own managerial posture.
KHEIRA A.

There was too much theory in this course, and it would have been preferable to focus more on practical cases encountered directly by the members of the group. It is difficult to see the practical use of the tools presented.
CORINNE L.

DANI D.

I've been a manager for 2 years now, and I think this course has helped me clarify what my team expects of me and given me the tools to TRY to achieve it.
