​Would love to attend more updates on a regular basis

I gained a deeper understanding into the use of SIMS

An opportunity to explore aspects of SIMS that I was unaware of. Further regular sessions would be useful

Termly SIMS Awareness training is required

I learnt so much. There are a lot of things I didn't realise were on SIMS that were never being used

I learnt easier and quicker ways of using SIMS

SIMS Discover - a life saver!
