…and a sample of their comments:
“The training provided by Choosing Change is always very professional and delivered to a very high standard. Participants always walk away from courses with the skills and knowledge needed to help them run their associations and community groups more effectively and efficiently. If you want to ensure that your customers receive the very best training available, then choose ‘Choosing Change’ – you will be glad that you did.” Kevin Young, Customer Involvement Manager, Hillingdon Homes
“The work that Choosing Change has done with our students has been very well received. What we find particularly helpful is Roger’s flexibility. It is important for us to work with someone who is not simply going to deliver their standard workshop but who will tailor their work to suit our students’ needs.” Judith Ritchie, Programme Manager, University of the West of England
“I just wanted to pass on some excellent feedback I have received from a tenant who attended your workshop. She is very reserved and lacks confidence in a lot of areas. She put herself down for your course and worried about whether she would struggle with it. Well, she hasn’t stopped talking about how brilliant the workshop was and has recommended it to other delegates. She was on a real ‘high’ afterwards – it was lovely to see. Despite being a relatively new delegate, she has already pleaded to be allowed to attend the next conference!” Jane Cresdee, Senior Housing Officer, Fareham Borough Council
“Roger was tremendous – a really skilled, respectful, focused, approachable, kind and organised trainer. Just the job for what could have been a challenging group.” Ginnie Herbert, Parenting Programme Manager, Oxford Sure Start
“Choosing Change provides high quality training – of a style that encourages and reassures individuals to take responsibility for their own development. As an officer, it is great to work with a training provider who has the time and flexibility to provide courses that are adapted to meet tenant identified needs.” Peter Banford, Tenant Participation Manager, Community Housing Group
“I now have the next 5 years of my life mapped out – thank you very much!” Nicki Pattinson, delegate at ‘You Can Do It!’ open course, Exeter
