Rewards - learndirect maths learner

I have really learnt alot from the measures section – I measure up my new en-suite to work out how may tiles I needed something I would never have been confident of doing.  So a big thank you to Rewards for all your help. SS

 

Micronas

Micronas Ltd. were unable to find a suitable educational program at our local college and were forced to look for an alternative solution to meet the development needs of our first line management staff.

Rewards TRC (Scotland) were able to offer exactly what we were looking for at a reasonable cost. The ILM Level 3 First Line Certificate in Management course was delivered as an in-house training program.

The senior management team and the candidates themselves have been extremely impressed with the lecturing staff and the standard of the teaching materials that were made available. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Rewards TRC team to any business looking for tailor made in-house training solution.

Testimonials from Rewards learners

Health & Social Care Level 3 " I gained lots of knowledge whilst working towards my NVQ and really enjoyed the journey." (AW)

 Business Admin.  Rewards training helped me to expand on my existing administration skills. I was able to turn the skills & knowledge  I picked up  whilst working in the office into a recognised qualification.  I also learned new skills with Rewards such as more knowledge on health & safety awareness,i.e., what things to look for when carrying out a health & safety audit.  We worked on “working with others”  this helped me to build on working relationships with others in the office. I also learned how to manage my time and be more assertive when it came to handling a several tasks at one time. " I would recommend this course to anyone working within an office environment". (JR)

Modern Apprenticeship Business Admin evel 3.  I achieved my qualification in August.  Rewards provided me with good support and advice all through the duration of the programme.  The programme itself gave me the knowledge and understanding of business practices such as Health and Safety awareness and personnel legislation. " As I left school after my standard grades and didn't sit higher exams, the SVQ award has enabled me to expand on my qualifications which will benefit me throughout my working life."   (LW).

Capital Logistics

I wanted to take this opportunity to write to you and pass on our thanks for the work you and the Rewards team has put in with us in recent months.

We have been thoroughly impressed throughout our relationship with Rewards.  From the initial consultation stage where we discussed needs, analysed just what we wanted to achieve and engaged in all manner of possible options, the process was fast, efficient and professional.  We have undertaken the Institute of Leadership and Management qualifications at level 3, NVQ in Business Management at level 3 and also learndirect Microsoft training.  All the course content, delivery, workplace briefings, office support and online assistance has been first rate.  The standard of work and performance from the candidates has increased since undertaking the courses and the desire to learn new skills and gain certification and accrediation continues to rise across our business.

We have enjoyed our time working with the entire team at Rewards and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.  Long may the relationship continue.

 

Best regards.  Mark Franklin, Business Development Manager, Capital Logistics Ltd.

 

 

Inkfish Call Centre

The level of service Rewards offers is excellent. The company listens to what our business actually needs and offers the most competitive personal package, rather than being happy with just making sure we buy something from them.  The NVQ's in particular have helped us to develop and retain our call centre staff with 82% of those who started NVQ's in April 2007 still with us and many having been promoted into higher roles.  The average length of employment for a call centre agent is 18 weeks so it's great for the business that we can offer people something that makes them want to stay much, much longer.

Modern Apprenticeship

Hey Jennifer, 

Just a small note in regards to the learning journey which you assisted me in. 

The course enabled me to detach myself from the daily workload and allow me time to view my work through a different lens. I found the training to be both interesting and also enlightening at times with many concepts needing further exploration.  

Your skills in teasing out answers made the course more exciting and with the personal/professional relationship that we formed allowed me to feel more at ease. As I am sure you are aware, my mind is a minefield and it was with great skill and acceptance that you managed to keep me focussed, pointing me in the right direction when I was becoming sidetracked.

I thank you for the time that you have given me and the new knowledge that you have assisted me in acquiring. Lastly, I feel that you should be commended for the hard work that you put in and also for the way that the training was implemented with you using a multitude of skills to make the training more interesting. 

Thanks once more.

The Richmond Fellowship

The Richmond Fellowship Scotland has been working in partnership with Rewards for almost two years now. In that time, we have put two junior posts through their recruitment and training scheme.

I have found the support staff at Rewards very professional and they have a great hands-on approach when it comes to their candidates. This has led to both of my junior posts attaining their SVQ awards. From my experience, I would recommend this route to any organisation that is considering recruiting at a junior level, for development potential.

Office Depot has had a long and very fruitful relationship with Rewards.  This has been extremely valuable to our customer service centre in Edinburgh in terms of recruitment and successful completion of VQ certificates.  Currently more than 30% of our customer service team have been recruited via Rewards and those recruited have achieved VQ certification.

I would have no hesitation in using Rewards' service again and would most certainly recommend Rewards to any employer considering recruiting and investing in young people.

We have used Rewards to recruit our junior administration staff for a number of years because we have found the calibre of candidates is generally much better than we find by advertising directly.  Rewards staff are always very friendly and helpful, and our staff who have completed the Modern Apprenticeship find it a very positive experience.

AVS Learning & Development

Rewards are delivering our ILM management training to our branch and deputy managers which started in January 2008 and will conclude to the certificate level by April 2009.

ILM training is starting to provide the branch management team with a clearer understanding of their job definition and purpose; it has further helped develop self esteem by encouraging a greater understanding of what is expected in leadership and people development.

AVS Fencing and Rewards have also embarked with NVQ training throughout our branches using Distribution & Warehousing Advanced Modern Apprenticeship and Team Leading.

We are intending to continue to invest in professional training with Rewards throughout 2009
