The DSE Assessment Process
“It was daunting at first but the tutor, Angela Yates made the learning process as simple as it can get… the booklets and practical demonstration really helped.”
“Angela is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and imparts a lot of good advice and information with an easy manner… The content went above and beyond… I feel confident I can assess my colleagues and facilitate an ease at their workstation, making them more comfortable in their bodies, promoting their well-being.”
“The course was really informative, filled with science-backed materials and practice. Angela, a very knowledgeable and experienced specialist, delivered this course engagingly and clearly. I would happily recommend it to my colleagues!”
“I learned so much on this course. Angela’s delivery was excellent, it was very interactive and informal whilst still containing a lot of very useful content. I particularly liked that slides etc were kept to a minimum, no death by PowerPoint! The workbook and other course materials are excellent… I feel confident that I am now able to perform DSE assessments and I have the theoretical knowledge behind me to support me.”
“Thank you for a very enjoyable and valuable course…”
“I enjoyed this course & I loved how engaging Angela was. She was a great teacher, great attitude & very positive.”
“The DSE foundation course by Ergonix was really useful and enjoyable… I fully recommend Ergonix!”
“I am very happy that I did my DSE (Display Screen Equipment) course with Ergonix. The course content was excellent with a good balance between theory and practical! Hearty thanks to Trainer Angela who was very professional but also easy and straight forward. Highly recommended.”
“The trainer Angela Yates was well prepared and had a great setup to deliver the course in detail and was easy to follow. This course was delivered in a 1-1 setting and was very easy to follow with hand out. Angela and I had an IT issue, and you would never have known as the course was back on track and on time within moments. The visual demonstrations were easy to follow and informative. I would highly recommend this course to others.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the DSE workstation assessor course with Angela. It flowed perfectly and had a great mix of both theory and practical work and I now feel competent to carry out a full workstation assessment.”
