“Excellent courses and an excellent trainer! All
courses offer a good pace, a variety of training
methods and excellent hand-outs to refer to
afterwards. ‘Choosing Change’ ran a series of
internal courses to help us up-skill our involved
housing customers. The courses were tailored
to our work and to the needs of the trainees.
Costs were competitive and the trainer made
sure everyone got involved. Attendee feedback
was excellent.”

believe a course could be so enjoyable. As
near to perfect as is possible.”
