Client Testimonials

It was an amazing experience. I strongly recommend this training program to anyone who wants to develop their capabilities. It helped me better understand my abilities, discover how to achieve my goals, and provided the necessary tools and techniques. The five days of training were unforgettable and changed my mindset. The outstanding trainers Dr. Nermin Attia and Dr. Ahmed Metwally were amazing role models and made it a distinguished experience that developed our skills, abilities, and attitudes. They successfully grounded IBCT standards in the trainees? behavior. Thanks to IBCT, my trainers, and my colleagues.

Dear Colleagues who took the TOT training through IBCT: please, stick to the IBCT standards. Now to the details. I am in a certain place these days taking an advanced workshop on how to train teachers on how to teach bioethics. So the workshop is mainly a TOT workshop. As happened in IBCT training, each one of us (the trainees) was given a topic and asked to give a micro training session in 10 minutes. My topic was yesterday about ?introducing new drugs?. I stuck to the tools we took in IBCT training. First I gave them the title and asked them how introducing a new drug can lead to an ethical dilemma. A good lady said that the new drug may have not been tested for safety.Another said that it should have been tried first, and so on. I distributed a case, gave two minutes for reading, asked someone to summarize it. The dilemma in the case was that though the drug was tested and badly needed, as there was an epidemic that killed tens of people daily, though the producing factory agreed to distribute it free for 5 years, the government declined to have it widely distributed claiming that its potential future hazards are not known before. After reading the case, I led the discussion in a way so as to find who sides with the strict use of the drug and who sides with the wide availability and who are hesitant. I asked the people who side with the first opinion (group a) to sit facing the other group (called b) and made the three hesitant people (the jury). I decided to use the debating tool. For shortage of time, I asked each group to prepare ONLY two strong arguments why they think what they think. I explained the procedure: group A will give an argument that B has to refute, and vice versa. Then the same with argument 2, and the jury in the end have to decide who gave the strongest arguments. I cannot describe to you how lively the session was, how everyone wanted to give a saying, how some colleagues even wanted to add a third argument. I explained to them that we have to stick to the time. The feedback by the trainers of the workshop was that they were fascinated by what I gave, my actions, my use of body language, (I am using their own words, I am not judging my performance). The trainees were very happy with the session. The trainer told me that if he knew I would give it in such an enjoyable way, he would not have given me only 10 minutes, but would give me more because he was so happy with my performance. I told them this is not my creation, these are the IBCT standards and way of training. One of my colleagues told me on my way home: ?Bahaa, you made it very difficult for all of us who did not give their sessions to present. What better than we give?? I was about to answer: Go and ask IBCT. Dear Colleagues: please, stick to the IBCT standards. They are magical in the outcome.

This CPT program gave me very rich experience that added new knowledge, skills and changed certain attitudes. I recognize my weak point as a trainer. I found that as a trainer I am a facilitating, presenting and couching but the less of them is guiding so I will concentrate more on tasks and procedures. The best roles I usually play are mentor, facilitator, producer and inventor the least is coordinator. I formed a positive new attitude towards the ground rules by mere exposure and I will use the operant observation to form new attitudes for my trainee because I don?t have time for mere exposure. I have changed my attitude through a central route concerning the efficiency of male trainers as I believed that trainer job fits female better than male but in this program I found out that male trainer can be as excellent as females. I will use both central route and peripheral route in changing the altitudes of my trainee. I found out that I am an abstract sequential personality and that?s why I hate limited time for doing any thing and why I hate restrictions and details but yet I have to be more patient with the concrete persons and understand their detailed questions. I am also a common sense person(doing and thinking) I should use more imagination. I will work on the internal positive motives of my trainee through challenge and fancy. Now I understand the group dynamic and I will be ready to deal with every stage particularly the stages of conflict and I will try to minimize the group thinking. Finally I realized that I am a very unconsciousness person and I should do something to increase my concentration and strengthen my memory. The CPT Program actually shed light on many mysterious areas of my behavior and the others behavior. Moreover it gives me clues to control the situation and choose the right person to the right job. Thanks to the professional trainers

The training CPT program was very informative, very well presented, inspiring plus enjoyable. There were many topics covered during the training which touch the deepest part of our spirit, personality and intuition. A lot of conflicts in mind and spirit had been solved, an explanation of many issues had been cleared. The trainers did an outstanding professional job of sharing their expertise with us. Their enthusiasm and positive spirit create an atmosphere full of respect, humour and productivity. I came away so confident and aware of myself, ready to face any difficult situation with courage and bravery. I have started to use some of the strategies, tools and skills with my trainees and indeed they worked remarkably well. Finally, we feel so grateful and devoted to be part of a fabulous organisation like IBCT.
