Our Clients

International SOS Pioneer DJ
Focusrite

There are many training companies around these days, and our main aim was to find one which could work with us, not just provide a slide show training session. We’ve been working with TrainingU for over 2 yrs now, on a combination of tailored Management and Effectiveness training modules, delivered in house to provide the opportunity to as many people as possible. We wanted the training to be a fit with our culture and values, and being able to work with Jo to tailor the material to fit with our needs, was vital for this. Besides relevant content, I believe one of the keys to a successful training session is the ability and style of the trainer. It was great to find someone who can quickly read a room, and adapt the approach, tone, and pace, to make it relevant and engaging for whoever is attending. TrainingU have provided a great platform, from which Jo has successfully provided training to almost every member of the company, at all levels.

Focusrite PLC

"We were delighted to work with TrainingU during our UK Learning Month. Their ability to offer short, snappy training sessions that were valuable and enjoyable was something we appreciated. The Sprint sessions are a great way to develop skills without being away from your day-to-day work for too long."

Karen Winter, Talent & Development Manager, Epson EMEA

"I just had a management skills course with David, he was great trainer and very skillful in delivering knowledge and sharing experience in interesting ways. I definitely recommend him for anyone interested in management training."
