Testimonial
"The training was extremely helpful. It was delivery of the information which made an enormous impact on me. In our politically correct world, I feel it has become very easy to be frightened off but now I find the legal side and the human side has now come together for me. It was a great to share the course with other delegates and the constant flow of tea and service with a smile was very welcome."

"Getting training courses arranged in our company used to be a nightmare, until we met SVC who are brilliant! They understand the difficulties we have in arranging training, due to employee travel commitment, time difference and language barrier, nothing is too much trouble. Company training has ranged from computer software training, health and safety, budgeting, project management and NVQ’s. All trainers are approachable, friendly and knowledgeable.

SVC even found a trainer who understood our complex business when it came to budgeting, amazing! SVC is our first choice and we would recommend them to all."
