Attendee Testimonials
Your organisation is just amazing and an inspiration.
Attendee
Thank you for the wonderful training. It was extremely thorough and well thought through, and I appreciated the way it was delivered (much more engaging than other training I've done!). I also found the pre-reading before each session really helpful. I'm sure all of the participants will take away lots of practical info, wisdom and experience from it! I am also very appreciative of the opportunity to do it through the scholarship - I wouldn't have been able to attend if not for that!
Attendee
The course is led by a lovely, enthusiastic and experienced facilitator who provides comprehensive knowledge about creating person centred biographies.
Attendee
Krystal is a wealth of knowledge in the realm of biographies, you come out of the course with a confidence that you can genuinely support your volunteers through the process.
This is the best and most instructive, well resourced course for anyone wanting to improve their palliative care service by implementing a life story program.
Attendee
There is Literally nothing that could have made the course more effective for me.......just having more hours in my day to absorb the information. Krystal was very good at involving us all in the conversation, even the quieter ones of us didn't slip under her radar. She is very skilled at her job.
Attendee
The EPC Biographer Course was respectfully presented by Krystal and with a well-planned and thoughtful Training Manual. We were eased into learning about the role and, by the end of the training, I felt that I had a solid base to step forth from. Also knowing that I wouldn't be left alone if in a tight spot, that a team of experts were available to approach if needed.
Attendee
Really grateful for the opportunity to do this training. It was a great experience, not only for the biography training but all the other knowledge imparted by Krystal.
Attendee
This is an excellent training program to prepare anyone wanting to volunteer as a biographer in the palliative care domain. The materials and activities open your eyes and prepare you for the challenges ahead.

Meet the Trainer
EPC has decades worth of experience in managing volunteers. Under Krystal Wallis’ leadership they have worked on their philosophy and practice to the point where their volunteers now report a 99% satisfaction rate with their work and how they are treated. This is unheard of on any satisfaction surveys that are done around staff or volunteers.
This is your opportunity to come and learn from the best, pick up ideas and be mentored into getting your program onto the same path to success.
