Trainees positive about first EALL course
EALL, 20 October 2009
Very interesting, practice-oriented and led by inspiring, reputed teachers. This is the feedback from the first group of trainees who completed the four day EALL training module Better Regulation Tools: Legislative Quality & Policy Appraisal on Friday 16 October. 

The twelve participants came from the Netherlands, Germany, England and Turkey. They work for national legislative bodies, the World Bank and EU Institutions. The course teachers were Claudio Radaelli (Professor of Political Science, University of Exeter, course director), Anne Meuwese (Marie Curie Fellow, University of Antwerp), Wim Voermans (Professor of Law, Leiden University).

New insights

‘The programme was relevant to many aspects of my daily work,’ said one of the participants. ‘I definitely acquired new insights. And good ideas for further study.’
Another trainee had particular praise for the teachers. ‘I knew them by name, but had never met them. It’s naturally very inspiring to listen to such eminent lawyers talking about their profession.’
Some participants had problems with English as the language used during the training. ‘My English is fairly good and I have no problems conversing. However, it’s different when you're on an intensive course focusing on very specific subjects. It was a shame, because I probably missed a number of interesting points.’

Positive responses

Chris Moll is happy with the first EALL course. ‘Absolutely. The responses have been positive. The organisation went well and the content level was very high. We very much welcomed the reactions from the trainees from the EU and the World Bank, who said that they would give their organisations positive feedback about the EALL.’
Any points for improvement? ‘Yes, more breathing space in the programme. The four days were long and intensive. The general consensus was that it was interesting, but too much. In subsequent courses, we will incorporate more rest moments and time for reflection.’
