We use Ashtree for Manual Handling training, and have done so for the last few years. The training session is always comprehensive and done in a down to earth manner. Staff could get bored with the same training year on year, but I find it is tailored to suit the group, and I only get positive feedback from staff after the session.

I can recommend Ashtree for Fire Training which was geared around our village along with company policies and procedures. I was shocked with the amount of positive feedback I received after the training, which is something Id not experienced before. It gave people food for thought and something staff can put into practice at work and home.

Ashtree have worked with Central Training since 2002 and in this time they have become a valued and trusted partner organisation, working with us on a range of internal and external training programmes, spanning different regions and over a dozen different course titles, mostly First Aid and related courses for the Health and Social Care Sector. The Ashtree product has consistently met the high expectations we set for training, and their particular strengths are: subject matter and industry expertise; portfolio of courses; catchment area for delivery; accessibility and accountability (of Ashtree staff); commitment to partnership working. Central Training continue to work with Ashtree and can therefore recommend their services without hesitation.

Further to attending SoVA training with Stephen (Ashtree trainer) on Tuesday 13th Sept, I would like to give some positive feedback. The ice breaker Who wants to be a Millionaire style question and answer session was really good fun and really refreshed our knowledge of safeguarding and also tested our understanding. Also Stephens experience of working in Care, gave a feeling of empathy to the group and also helped us with understanding safeguarding in the Care environment. The case studies were relevant, and he was very informative about how to report suspicion of abuse, it really made you think about all the different perspectives. There were a few changes I would recommend eg; less powerpoint, but on the whole it was a brilliant session that fitted into 3 hours. Possibly the best SoVA training I have received to date.

Jon and his team deliver business critical training in a straightforward and simple way, whilst maintaining a level of interest in the audience that makes the course fun and successful. He gets to know the business requirements in advance, helping to ensure a bespoke feel to an industry specific norm.
