TESTIMONIALS
Hi Nick
Just wanted to let you know that I have had a long chat with one of our students who was really impressed with you and your service. He said that, of all the suppliers, you were the only one that had listened to him and understood his needs. He thought you were brilliant! In fact, so much so that when Student Finance England chose a different supplier he asked us to contact them to request that he could use you instead.
Just thought I’d let you know. (I’d have copied your manager in – it’s always nice to get a pat on the back – but I can’t remember his name. Feel free to forward this!)
Rachel’s very clear, concise instruction with appropriate humour aided recall. Rachel is the epitome of what an excellent trainer should be! Fab training!
