What organisations say

Feedback from organisations that trust A1 Education & Training.

Trustpilot
‘We have used A1 Training for level 3 Health and social care courses for our staff. About 5 staff have completed the level 3 courses from 2023. Charmaine, one of their assessor in particular has been consistent and brilliant with communication and support with our staff .

I have observed that the staff that have completed their level 3 have not only applied their knowledge in the organisation but also they have shown so much growth in personal development’

“Our service has used A1 Training to deliver the Emergency First Aid at Work course for several years. The course has consistently received very positive feedback from our clients, particularly in relation to the quality of the training and the high standard of delivery of the tutor, Charmaine. We have been very pleased with the service provided and are happy to continue using A1 Training for this course.”

Action on Disability

Franklen Choi
Service Lead

‘Becca and the team at AI-training have been working with us as a training provider for over a year and recently designed and delivered two new training courses for staff. They were medication training and first line manager training. These two courses were built on our specification, with all drafts, lesson plans and schemes of work shared and amended until we were all happy with the content. Delivery was exceptional with the organisation willing to accept being quality observed and any amendments to future programmes being implemented swiftly.’
