Customer Feedback:
“We included maths [and English] training, following a needs assessment that suggested it would help reduce errors and wastage.
Since it started we have seen the confidence and aspirations of the workforce rise, better report writing and timesheet completion, improved communication and more employee development and progression.”
Trevor Siddoway - Commercial Manager
“I never liked maths at school, but after three weeks I am starting to gain more confidence, especially in the kitchen with weights and measures!
I wouldn’t have considered doing a numeracy exam unless it had been offered to me at work and I don’t see I have got anything to lose by giving this a go.”
Julie Corbett - Care Worker
