• “I am writing to say that your course was one of the best I have ever attended, and superlative in every respect. I learned an incredible amount and have returned to work bursting with ideas! For me, you pitched the training at just the right level, not easy I suspect with such a diverse and talkative group as us. Your knowledge, expertise and professionalism was obvious. I look forward to hearing how I did on the test (!) and hopefully training with you again in the future. Thank you very very much.”

  Mick Murphy, Learning & Development Officer, MENCAP

• “EDGE Services have consistently delivered high quality, very informative courses that have provided our staff with the knowledge and confidence to train their colleagues in the care and social care setting. We have particularly benefited from the 'post training support' - it is reassuring to know there is always someone at the end of the phone to offer advice as and when required.”

  Peter Allen, Training & Development Consultant, Sheffield Care Services

• “Since 2005 in excess of 80 delegates have been on EDGE Services' courses. We have formed a partnership that has benefited both our staff and the people in their care.

The courses are very much hands-on and provide reliable and accurate information, meeting all our expectations. ”

  Val Shaughnessy, Care Training Officer,The Royal British Legion

The ongoing support service provided is also extremely valuable as you can be confident any advice or guidance given will be accurate. The team at EDGE Services are always friendly, responsive and professional, which makes them a pleasure to do business with. ”
