Darryl is a top quality instructor who knows all about pensions and planning for retirement. What struck me as the most positive was that he was able to take what could be considered very dry material and make it interesting. He had my attention on all three days right from 8:30 a.m. through to the end of the day at 4:30 p.m. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better, more knowledgeable and experienced instructor. Thank you very much for a wonderful course where I can say with confidence that I learned a lot.

Darryl is an excellent presenter who really knows what he is talking about. He was receptive to questions at all times. One of my classmates was an HR Compensation Advisor who counselled public service members on retirement – Darryl welcomed all comments by her to supplement what he was teaching. This proved very helpful to the rest of us. Thanks so much, Darryl!

The pre-retirement course is more personal development and not directly applicable to the work I do. However, it provides great rationale for staying the federal public service as we have an amazing pension plan if you put the years of service in. There no pre-reading but I think that the course would benefit if there was computers available so that we could go to the various sites together, especially the pension calculator and information on CPP. A lot of information to absorb in three days but enough to make you want to start doing some personal researching for yourself.

Darryl knew his material and allowed lots of time for questions during the classroom session, on breaks, and at lunch – if you desired. Great examples for those of us who needed clarification on the terms. Worked really well with Melody. She was co-presenting and was planning to leave the government soon. She has a wealth of knowledge that is of a great value to the public service. Every person should be able to connect and speak with someone like her in their career in the public service. It was great having someone facilitating the course that had direct/personal experience with the subject matter.

Thank you for this opportunity. Even though this course could be seen as more of a personal benefit, I believe I’m happier in understanding my pension and benefits therefore, the workplace will benefit.

Very engaging and insightful. Clearly enjoys his profession and emits the excitement and dedication to his work. His desire to ensure everyone felt knowledgeable and confident to make good decisions and choices was evident. His grasp on the material was impressive. Highly recommended for all future Public Service Presentations.

This is the BEST course I have taken throughout my career at the Federal Government. Darryl’s knowledge level was impressive to say the least! If you have not booked him to facilitate all the Planning to Retirement courses in the region, I would strongly recommend that you do. He took the time to answer all relevant questions and kept the course on track. I have recommended it to all my coworkers.

Melody was a great instructor and it is really unfortunate that the government is losing her to WFA. She provided much needed tips and info and provided helpful hints to allow the retirement process to proceed without delays and errors. Melody engaged the audience and is obviously passionate about her subject and making sure attendees really understand the material she is presenting. She made navigating and comprehending our pension plan a reality!
