our testimonials
customer says
CA provided a day’s training for my team of Tutors and partners for Facilitator Training in Team Development skills. We had an amazing day - incredibly productive, creative and got the results! Even individuals lacking in some confidence and not as willing as others to get involved, engaged and got a huge amount from the training. We had great fun! If you’re willing to try something a little different, I can really recommend this kit and training - Fantastic. Rachel Clarke – Manager Derby Adult Learning Services
Sorry I had to rush off yesterday. I just want to say a massive thank you for the training. It was some of the best training we’ve ever had and the team are so keen to start using the resource - Lucy Gordon Middlesborough Football Club Foundation
As someone who does not learn well in a classroom environment, I found the training really beneficial and engaging. Because of the quality of the training and how it was delivered I am very confident in my ability to deliver ‘Bags of Character’ sessions - Sports Coach Premier Education Group
This has been such a positive start to a very informative and educational programme, and in some cases will be a life enhancing programme. This resource will give those young people who don’t really enjoy PE an opportunity to be active members of a team and to do so with confidence, great for collaborative approaches, can’t wait to get going. Ruth Valentine Behaviour Manager
This is without a doubt the best training I have received. It was engaging, relevant and fun throughout and all activities and outcomes were transferable. However, I didn't realise it would make me reflect on myself quite as much as it did and the training has left me feeling more confident, the training has left me hungry in the search for ways I can enrich children's lives further. KS2 Teacher Dudley
