    ‘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’
