I would highly recommend this route of learning and development." - Mark Sheppard, Managing Director, Mark Sheppard Ltd.
Comments from learner, Carol Barker:
“I was a bit apprehensive before starting my level 2 NVQ in Business
and Administration as I did not gain any formal qualifications upon leaving
education but once I met my tutor, Jan, she soon put me at my ease and explained
the process. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was so excited when
I gained the certificates. Completing the level 2 motivated me into commencing
level 3. To be honest I couldn't wait to start!"
The level of support I received from Powys Training and my work colleagues was fantastic and I never felt I was doing this on my own.
Having now almost completed the level 3 it has inspired me to venture further and I shall be commencing an Open University course very soon with the intention of gaining a Foundation Degree in Business Information Technology.”
