"Andrew was extremely helpful and offered extra time for tutoring/coaching. Always happy to re-explain and trained at a good pace. Excellent course material".
Gemma Belcher, Vanquis Bank, Foundation Green Belt, led by Andrew Ruddick

"Absolutely wonderful trainer, clever, bright, personable, entertaining and set at a very good pace. Lots of psychology and theory as well as some ‘live’ examples, all of which really made great sense. Materials guide clear, relevant and almost an idiots guide in the nicest possible sense of the word – great. Fabulous content, indepth and again, all relevant. Great location and easy to get to. I loved this course and normally would have zoned out by 3pm on day one, but I was still bright eyed and bushy tailed at the end, that’s a first! Many thanks and looking forward to part two".
Fiona Scott, Bank of Scotland, Foundation Green Belt, led by Moore Allison

Evelyn Campbell, Vanquis Bank, Foundation Green Belt, led by Andrew Ruddick

"It was good to hear from personal experiences of different deployments in different industries and cultures. A good mix of talk and exercises and a good informal approach where we were all free to contribute and share best practice. Really liked the focus in on some of the 'softer' skills required. Really enjoyed Derek's (Whitworth, CEO TMD Friction - Europe's largest supplier of brake friction materials) presentation, particularly around the value of engaging everyone in the journey".
