Feedback from our students, past and present
Below is a selection of feedback from students who are currently taking part on a course with us. Or, you can also watch this short video for a brief overview.
Employment and Progression
Anitha Kamikaze Priscott has been a learner with Achievement Training throughout 2021 and was a learner with Employment and Progression as an adult learner, she was determined to achieve as well as she could with her English. Being from Rwanda, English was not her first language, in fact her 3rd or 4th language, so it seemed a challenge.
Anitha after initial assessment was identified as working towards Entry Level 3 English and attended regularly and worked methodically with the supplied revision material and gained in good time the Entry Level 3 English and then progressed to the Level 1 aim and again worked well and attended on a regular basis and followed all advice and guidance and soon achieved the Level1 aim and in September commenced working towards the Level 2 aim which she achieved at the end of 2021, so effectively within a year had progressed her English from entry level to a Functional Skill English at Level 2 and she is considering working towards the Maths aims.
Having achieved her English qualifications AKP commented to her tutor I really had an amazing time there. Was always looking forward to coming in for my course. Further comments made are: You have been a great tutor to me, and I was always looking forward to coming in to learn under your supervision and I wanted to tell you this face to face and Emma and the lady who always talked to me, they are all nice and kind.

Employer Feedback
Apprenticeship Recruitment
“I have used ATL services for several years and have always found them to be very professional and helpful. They have always structured their training around the needs of the business and it has always been to the highest standard. We have 3 more students that will be taking up training with them in the next few weeks. Excellent friendly staff that have made my apprentices feel very valued. I would not go to another provider for any training that I could source through ATL.” Employers

I just want to give you and the whole animal care team a massive thank you for everything that you have done for me over the two years that you have been unluckily enough to have known me. All of your support from each and everyone of you has been amazing and you are all amazing at what you do and I really can’t complain. I couldn’t of asked for a better team of brilliant people to have taught me all that you have done. I also want to thank you for just simply putting up with me and my annoyance that I know you all love!
I know I have struggled now and then but I knew that you guys were always behind me and are willing to support me. I would have shown my appreciation in another way but I think this is kind of easier.
I highly appreciate all the two year support you have given me and will miss you guys so much. Well, maybe not as much as you will miss my loud laugh and sarcasm but who can blame you! Jokes! Well, Abi will defiantly be happy to get rid of the laugh and sarcasm after the year she has had with teaching me! Oops!
Thank you so much Dan
“My tutor makes work easy to understand, makes helpful suggestions as well as a relaxed working environment, instead of one that is stressful. Everyone in the class is also really welcoming.”
“I am enjoying my course at achievement training.”
Traineeships
“Achievement Training has helped me in just less than 6 months to find a job! I
completed work experience and my training advisor Rita helped me a lot and she was always
there to answer any queries I had”
“The traineeship not only improved my day-to-day work organisation but also challenged
me to think differently which helped to broaden my mind” I am now progressing with Achievement Training to the next level in Maths and have a full time job.
“Achievement training has really been the best thing that happened to me I was struggling a lot at the start of the year not knowing where I was going in life but since joining and having a dedicated tutor right there helping me has been the best thing for me I have completed two courses and passed both and I then went on to get my maths which I never thought was possible, if it wasn’t for my tutor I would not have been able to do it. Achievement Traning really is the best place.”

Commercial Procurement
“Having joined the Met Office as an apprentice in October 2018 with no prior Procurement knowledge, I set out to achieve Level 4 CIPS and am hugely grateful for Andy’s support throughout the apprenticeship. This included a combination of engaging 1-1 sessions for each module, and work set (such as practice questions) for Andy to review. Following this, constructive feedback was always provided.
Most notably, ATN provided useful exercises and materials to reinforce and expand upon the content within each CIPS module (something that I would not have benefited from through a self-study approach). Andy was able to share examples from various working environments to help add context to theory and models that I had not yet experienced in practical application – all of which I could draw upon to further support my learning as I studied.
In addition to this, Andy has provided the foundations for great networking between the Met Office and other organisations which was an added bonus in understanding private sector practice when operating in a public sector environment. The knowledge sharing here I have found incredibly useful during the on-the-job training.
Overall, the team at ATN could not have been more helpful throughout my apprenticeship and in many ways exceeded my expectations. Thank you, I wish you all the best for the future.”
Kind regards, M

Health and Social Care
It has been an absolute pleasure completing my Diploma with you as my tutor Tracy.
You have matched my enthusiasm and inspired me to continue with my education and Professional Development in Health and Social Care. You have also equally demonstrated your passion like myself in Health and Social Care and share my core belief of providing the best person centred care to all of those I have the privilege of working and providing care and support to within my roles.
This is sent with deep gratitude.
Kind regards, Beatrice.
