Feedback from the previous Functional Skills Reforms workshop:

"It was very helpful being able to talk to someone who actually knows the answer. Christine was well informed and well prepared."

"Really enjoyed the event. I found it very beneficial sharing ideas and thoughts with others. I feel I now have a better understanding of the reforms and how this is different from the 'legacy' functional skills. Has helped me consider what we need to change and plan."

"Excellent day covering a multitude of information to help me cascade relevant info to senior management and managers and to understand what is required for the company going forward successfully."

"Enjoyable course - gained valuable info on new element of functional skills English and math."

"Really liked the pace of the day and the structure of the day. I picked up some tips to take away that are really useful."
