  1. Cian Dalton –

    Very good

  2. Joanne Clough –

    I always enjoy the ethics courses. They are good reminder in the midst of the conflicting demands of the job. The case studies are the best part – and the quizzes.

  3. Sean Mahony –

    Makes you think about ethics, how you and your organisation recognises and follows them, and how to apply them them everyday. 4 hours seems like a long time for something I felt already knew. But the course made me think in different ways about living and applying ethics.

  4. Busani Bakani –

    The course is very helpfull and i believe we can stl learn more through this platform

  5. Emma Strong –

    Really made me thing about unconscious bias and how different my culture and ethics are to other people.

  6. Ann Shanks –

    A good course

  7. Patricia Rowe-Seale –

    Navigating through the course is very easy and the mixture of text and videos makes an ethic course much easier to go through till the end.

  13. Karen Johnston –

  14. Katy Wade –

    I found this course very relevant and a lot less dry than other ethics courses in the past I have completed. Great to have a mix of videos and reading, and using examples to reinforce the learning

  15. Michael Demoz –

    As ethical decisions are at all walks of life be it in business or politics or in relationship, everyone must learn and know all about ethics.

  16. Sheridan Willing –

    i thoroughly enjoyed the course. it made me think about myself, my life, my workplace…a bit of reflecting. it made me conclude that my workplace isnt too bad on the ethics front. as with everything, there are things that could improve, but overall, it reminded me to be happy with my workplace. it made me think about my family and relationships; reflecting on how i conduct myself in various personal situations, and how i want to add these aspects to my parenting.

  17. Brian Archibald –

    Some of the information in the course is not new and included in previous courses I have completed.

  28. Denise Vincent –

    Enjoyed the presenter speaking. Her points were well considered, connected and easy to understand. She was very relatable. Course content was just right not to light or too heavy.

  29. Cara Keogh –

    Not too cumbersome, interesting case studies (although the Stanford Prison Experiment should probably be updated, wasn’t it debunked/shown to not be entirely untampered?) and there are references to the likes of FIFA and Amazon’s Codes of Conducts which also probably need revisiting… but otherwise more enjoyable than an in-person ethics course.

    Well presented, interesting course, easy to navigate.

    Well paced modular approach with short but informative videos and good module summaries. Also very important to see the range of others views on each subject.

  34. Brad Kearns –

    I made the mistake of ordering this training under the assumptions it would provide links to common ethical dilemmas faced by the Accounting profession (Ethics in the workplace). My personal opinion is the training is far too high level to provide tangible benefits in the workplace.
