"I can't say enough about how Real Learning has enriched the student experience on the Trinity MBA. Real Learning has delivered workshops within taught modules, at launches of team projects, and they played a key role during induction – and they’ve delivered effectively both on and off-line. Real Learning delivers high quality workshops that actively engage students – students don’t passively absorb information, but instead, with the use of actors, students actively learn key skills that are essential for the role of managers today. Rather than delivering an off-the-shelf solution, we co-create workshops that are tailored to our students and learning environment. Real Learning goes above and beyond expectations to create a bespoke experience for our students that makes sense in the context of the rest of the programme. Finally, it is a pleasure to work with Ivan and Ciarán, and the rest of the actors. They are responsive, quick to provide feedback and/or make adjustments, and provide a superior level of customer service."
Dr. Amanda Shantz, Associate Professor and Executive MBA Director at Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin.
"Real Learning's partnership approach is professional, the experience thoroughly enjoyable, and the impact (as evidenced by students feedback) most valuable."
Dr. Brian Harney, Lecturer in HRM at Dublin City University and Academic Fellow, Centre for International HRM, University of Cambridge.
"The level of service we receive from Real Learning is second to none, true professionalism from actors that deliver above and beyond expectations."
Derek Fox, Managing Director of DF Leap Training Solutions
"We worked with Real Learning on interview role plays for our BIS placement students. It's a transformative way to teach interview skills. Total professionals and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Real Learning."
Catherine Murphy, BIS Placement Manager and Lecturer, School of Business, Cork Institute of Technology
"Working with Real Learning has been a refreshing experience. They took the time to understand the learning objectives of our programme and they have been forthcoming with relevant and useful ideas and alternatives. What I found outstanding about working with Real Learning is their precision and their ability to fit in seamlessly with the programme. Testimonial to that is that participants' feedback highlighting how the use of real actors for role-play has had a profound impact on the learning."
Fabio Grassi, Executive Learning Director at Irish Management Institute
The actors were a great addition to the day - impartial and professional - it wouldn't have been as effective without them."
Programme participant, IMI
In my opinion, this worked exceptionally well as the actors were well briefed. I actually began to believe they really were CEOs and Sales Leaders. Excellent actors."Programme participant, TCD Business School
Role-playing was a brilliant way to give practical application to the theory."
Programme participant, IMI
The actor added a great deal to my learning experience."
MHRM Student, DCU Business School
I feel the inclusion of the actor made the whole experience much more realistic and would resemble a real life appraisal much more clearly than the same exercise with my peers."
MHRM Student, DCU Business School
[The actors] were excellent. [They] gave very good feedback after role-play and gave an understanding of the effect things we say actually have on the customer."
Programme participant, Financial Services
I thought the interaction and responses of the actors to generate thought and real-life complexity was great."
Programme participant, TCD Business School
Made the role-play feel like real life. [The actors] know their stuff [and] showed different ways to respond."
Programme participant, Financial Services
We had valid feedback from the perspective of the customer - which is something we have never had."
Programme participant, Financial Services
I couldn't have imagined how real or useful this exercise was. It certainly surpassed my expectations."

It brought the learning to life - not just a training workshop. We will remember the key learning points."

The actors were a brilliant addition to a great class."
