Recognising Potential. Developing People.

We work with and support a great many businesses throughout the South - West of England. We take great pride in providing the highest quality training whilst ensuring both staff and students are 100% satisfied with the service they receive. We welcome all feedback, some of which is shown below.
The training planned and delivered under GHQ Training under the ESF project has been a valuable asset to our work at REACCH Autism South West. This training programme has been so effective both for our staff team and our students and trainees in helping us achieve this goal. The programme of training provided by GHQ training has allowed us to carry out training we require for staff within our scheduled weekly programme something which then allows students and trainees here on our site to join in with this training as part of their programme too. One of the great values of this programme has been to apply the learning outcomes directly to our project as the training is being delivered. This is clearly of benefit to us as a staff team but is also of benefit to people on the autism spectrum which we support. One young man attended the Health and Safety sessions and usually he is very unconfident and would not join in such a course but because we were able to have this delivered within his scheduled programme, alongside staff he trusted, he managed to attend and managed to answer 18 out of 20 HSE questions correctly. This has really encouraged him to feel he can attempt other training.

Just wanted to say, thank you so much for the course yesterday, the girls are all buzzing from it and can’t wait to get going. I really appreciate all the help and support GHQ gave us in getting the course organised for our salon.

I have to say a very big thank you to GHQ overall for your professionalism in assisting us to find a Business Administrator. Our apprentice really has taken to this role so well and he is settling in as part of the family already. He is very proactive in everything he does and the tasks we give him are immediately dealt with and in a professional manner. From beginning to end the service, guidance, advice and support has been fantastic. GHQ go out of their way to source the right candidates for the role available, our apprentice is a perfect match.

Thank you very much Helen and Natalie for your excellent seminar presentation at the recent Business Network Event. It was very well recieved and the feedback has been superb. Your support of the network in this way is very much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you again!

“As a small business it is very important that we get the right employee into the right role. GHQ has provided two excellent candidates through the apprentice scheme. They have helped train, support and guide both employees throughout their apprenticeships. As a new provider for such a scheme GHQ has been a valuable source of information and resource for myself. With GHQ the apprentices have felt that they are being trained in skills that will guide them throughout life and their chosen career path, from an employer point of view having an apprentice has only brought benefits to the workplace and has been a very positive experience”.

The service and help received from GHQ has proved invaluable in our search for a high-quality apprentice. By linking our organisation with a range of suitable applicants GHQ has enabled us to recruit a new team member who is rapidly proving to be an asset to the whole organisation.

We opted to work alongside GHQ as a partner when selecting people for our two year Modern Apprenticeships. We were keen to work alongside a provider that delivered good support for modules and the opportunity for young people to regularly study alongside peers who were working in other settings. The standard of the young people we have had has always been exceptionally high and our links with their tutors are strong. We have always found them to be positive and encouraging to the young people they work with and professional in their dealings with us. They were extremely helpful during the selection process when we took on new apprentices.

The Devon & Cornwall Food Association (DCFA) is a charitable organisation with limited financial backing. DCFA is absolutely delighted with the service received from GHQ Training in Plymouth. Having had a couple of false starts from other sources DCFA was beginning to lose faith in the National Apprenticeship Scheme but GHQ soon restored our faith. Nothing has been too much trouble, and the patience and understanding of both Managers and Staff has been beyond the norm. Our current apprentice is now firmly ensconced into our organisation and we have great faith in the backup that GHQ provides, both in advice and in the training provided. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending GHQ Training to others.

Our students provide us with the most valuable feedback. We encourage each and every one of them to bring their views to our attention, both during and on completion of their qualification, so we can monitor exactly how we are doing. Here's what they think
Thank you so much for your constant support and guidance since I've worked at the school. Without your time, effort and enthusiasm to help me achieve I wouldn't have completed my Level 2 Support Teaching & Learning Apprenticeship, Level 3 Diploma in Support Teaching & Learning and functional skills as well as I did. You've encouraged me so much and helped me to gain so much confidence as a learner and as a person.

When I look back over this course, I can see how much confidence I have gained. I have really enjoyed every aspect of the course and have learnt a great amount. I was really nervous when I started my practical assessments but the support I received has been a real benefit. I really enjoyed the practical side and getting to work with the learners. I will now look forward to starting a career as a childcare assessor.

‘I am so glad to be working with you again. Thank you again for being such an amazing assessor in every way! I really wouldn't have been able to continue if it weren't for you’

Today I have completed the Level 3 Hair Studies course with Dan. I began the course with little knowledge of hairdressing but have always had an interest in it. The course has been a good foundation for me to start learning and developing a career in hairdressing. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to start a career in hairdressing.
Liz – Level 3 Hair Studies
Many many thanks to Helen - I am sure I have not been an easy student so appreciate your support. I would not have got through it without you. You're an absolute great tutor and mentor, it was so apparent that you wanted me to get achieve this as much as I was struggling, I didn’t give up.

The course has been demanding but Helen has provided the relevant information for me to succeeded. I really enjoyed the demands and the course work, its been extremely helpful in the work place and helping find resources to support my role as a TA.

So much support given which has been key in working towards this achievement. Really appreciate Helen being on the end of the emails to help when needed. Really enjoying the course and still continuing to learn new ways to support children and young people.

Starting out in a brand new sector, I needed to develop my skill set to adapt to my new job role. With this in mind, Glen and David presented me with the opportunity to get outside learning from GHQ Training Ltd. This proved to be an overall fantastic experience, learning was made completely stress-free and flexible by enabling me to tie in what I was doing on my course with what I was doing in my job. My trainer Annette gave me amazing support so I was able to juggle working full-time, being a mother and completing a qualification. I would highly recommend their training services to anyone.
