Testimonials
Can you please pass on grateful thanks to everyone at Ripley Training for an exceptional session with the management team the feedback from all those who attended event has been great and certainly hit the right level of expectation. Great mix of both outdoor and indoor exercises that kept the whole team fully engaged and raised the right of both fun and competition for a group of Sales Managers.
Thanks again go to your team for playing such a proactive part in the session and joining into the full fun of the event I’m sure the feedback wouldn’t have been positive if the ladies hadn’t played such an active part in the session themselves and kept the team light hearted throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your company in future events of the same elk within our company. Thank you again and look forward speaking in the future and seeing those photographs.

Leeds Chamber of Commerce realised that we had to improve our existing sales and marketing techniques if we were to successfully market our range of quality services that we offer to existing and to potential members.
In order for us to reach our goals, we looked to work with partners who shared this vision. Your company, Ripley Training, was one of the partners we chose to work with and you have assisted us by training members of your our team.
The individual coaching in sales and marketing that Ripley Training provided has created greater clarity and direction for our team. Your associate John Tradewell has been responsive to our needs and helped to raise confidence and skills amongst our younger members of our team.
Your company has also delivered First Aid Training to Chamber staff and those employed by our members over the last year to a very high standard. This once again reflects the 'full' service approach to training and coaching you adopt, saving time and money by using multiple training audiences.
We would not hesitate to recommend Ripley Training to any other company who is considering your services.

I am writing to say how much I appreciated the training course you ran for us recently. Frankly, I only went along to show my presence, having been on umpteen sales / management / account management type courses over the years, but recently I really benefited from it. You can teach an old dog new tricks after all!
I was particularly impressed with the way in which you took time to understand our business. The key problem we had identified with some of our people and then set about delivering a bespoke session. Too much training is "off the shelf, take it or leave it!, which perhaps works in a generic call centre environment, but doesn't for professional firms like ours.
We will certainly use you again when we identify similar training needs in the future.

Many thanks for your work in covering in-house training courses on performance appraisal skills for this firm. From our point of view, this is very important in transforming the effectiveness of appraisal; I was particularly impressed by the skill with which you "read" both the needs of the firm and the requirements of the participants, and adapted your presentation with agility to meet those needs.
We are now moving forward with the appraisal process, and if we need any further training we will certainly revert to you.

I recently attended a course run by Ripley Training entitled "Professional Presentation Skills".
This letter is to tell you how much I enjoyed the day and how valuable it has been in helping me to make better presentations and with greater confidence as well as being well organised and easy to get to.
You managed to secure an exceptionally good trainer at a very reasonable cost.
I have since spoken to a number of others who attended and they all agree that they benefited greatly from a most enjoyable day.

On attending the course I quickly realised that I had totally underestimated its content and worth.
The training was exceptionally well delivered by Stuart Pearson. The way he involved the group, getting them to interact together was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and learnt and gained a tremendous amount from it.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending the course to everyone in this room.
I am about to book on your course for Sports First Aid Training and, assuming that all your training courses are of this quality and value, I will definitely be attending more.
Thank you once again.

Ripley Training very quickly identified the most appropriate training for me. They put me in touch with the best trainers and I have not looked back! Within a very short time frame I passed my International NLP Diploma and am now studying for the International Practitioner award. Without Ripley Training’s knowledge and direction I could have spent a long time looking for the right course, instead I am now well on my way to achieving my goals. Thank you.

I am writing to thank you for your excellent course 'Finance for Non Financial Managers' which I attended a few weeks ago. As a creative person I am interested in creating stories and finding patterns and relationships between people, but have always struggled to find the 'stories' in numbers.
However, in order to grow MORE! Productions this became a vital need for development and attending the course has enabled me to get a much better grasp of how the numbers in our business work and the relationship they have with our future decision making. I must also comment on your facilitator Stephen. His manner and approach 'de-jargonised' a somewhat daunting area, enabling me to learn and absorb at my own pace and not feel threatened or uncomfortable.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ripley Training to anyone with a training need.
