Customer Testimonials
National Crime Agency – IQA Training
My assessor was excellent, she helped me so much throughout and the sessions we had were first class – providing the guidance and support that was needed and from assessment perspective, always providing feedback in a lovely but extremely professional manner. I cannot fault the service at all.
National Probation Service Assessor Training
My assessor was excellent, she made me feel so at ease and I always understood what was expected of me and the types of evidence required. She was so supportive but ensured that I remained responsible for my own learning, exactly how I work best! Thank you.
