The quality of these sessions was outstanding. The environment of positivity created within the room today amongst a group of vulnerable and reluctant students was an amazing achievement. I cannot recommend these sessions enough!
Mr Emmerson, Ferryhill Business Enterprise College
Very engaging, funny and facilitated fantastic learning experience. The trainer's knowledge of English skills really strengthened the effectiveness of the workshop.
Ms Stock, Parkside Academy
Very positive. Encouragement to get ALL students involved. The trainer had some VERY shy students with a range of additional needs in the one group. He made it safe and comfortable for everyone to contribute, even for those who are usually difficult, disengaged and silly. Good use of humour, lots of positive feedback from the trainer and their peers.

Excellent training sessions. Students were very well motivated and could clearly see progress!

Really enjoyed the session, lots of interaction and practical elements. Excellent advice, students really engaged with all the activities and had a lot of fun, despite them being forced out of their comfort zone.
Mr Stelhach, Ian Ramsey School
Fantastic session – the trainer immediately puts pupils at ease, had a laugh with them and made them feel really comfortable when they were out of their comfort zone. Pupils really got a lot of the session and enjoyed the day. It was nicely structured with a mix of discussions, group tasks and games. Built up step by step to the main presentation.

Amazing trainer, able to build a strong rapport with a huge range of students. This built confidence in a number of very shy students who were able to get up in front of their peers and deliver confidently!
Mrs Moral, North East Futures UTC
It was wonderful to see the students I teach grow in confidence in only a few seconds as a direct result of the Trainers approach. The quality of this session was outstanding. I would outwardly say that all students left the room with increased self-esteem. It was lovely hearing the buzz in the corridor afterwards. You exceeded my expectations!
Mr Woods, North East Futures UTC
Good pace in session, clear instructions, responded to students needs with clarity, support and engagement.
Ms Nixon, North East Futures UTC
I thoroughly enjoyed the training today. It will be extremely beneficial to all participants. The Trainer succeeded in getting maximum effort from the group and all participants seemed to relate to the advice given.
