Testimonials

Greg Falvey, Colchester Borough Homes
'Colchester Borough Homes Property Services division looks to The Professional Training Centre and Colchester Institute for much of it's construction based training.  This training includes mandatory training covered by legislation as well as apprenticeships and those working towards NVQs.  We have always found that Colchester Institute provides training of a high standard and quality and are supported by a great team of PTC staff who are always helpful and friendly.'
 
Antony Cotterill, R G Carter
'RG Carter have worked with the PTC for a number of years, delivering NVQs to our experienced site agents and site managers, allowing them to gain a qualification that recognises their experience in the construction industry. Furthermore PTC have delivered training to our trainee site staff who are making their first step into supervision and management and require guidance, knowledge and skills to assist them in advancing their career.
Over the years we have developed a good working relationship with the tutors and the Business Training Advisers at the PTC. At all times they have been flexible and responsive to the both the company’s needs and the individual needs of the delegates. We continue to work with the PTC to ensure the progression and development of our employees.'
 
Jeff Dunn, Sato UK
‘We approached The PTC in 2006 with a view to booking some of their standard training courses from this brochure. When we discussed our requirements with them in more detail, they suggested sending specialist trainers out to meet us and to design bespoke courses that could be delivered on our premises. The results were exactly what we wanted, at a fraction of the cost of every other training supplier we consulted. The courses themselves were very well received by our people and the PTC is now our first choice supplier for all of our management and sales training.’
 

Kimberley Hatton, Asbestos Consultants to the Environment Ltd

Allan Olesen, Horsens Handelsskole, Denmark
‘32 students from (BCH) Business College Horsens (Denmark) visited The PTC at Colchester Institute for two weeks in February 2009 with a view to learning more about the EU, it's institutions and about marketing.  BCH has visited Colchester Institute nearly every year since 2002 and we are extremely satisfied with the instruction provided.  Being taught in English is a great challenge to our students and it's a great pleasure to see that they rise to that challenge.’
 
Helen Hever, National Probation Service
‘Having used the PTC on a number of occasions, every course offered there has been very successful and a really positive experience for the delegates involved, with excellent feedback. The PTC also has the ability to adapt its courses/teaching styles to suit the individual’s training plan very well. From my first telephone conversation with Sam, the service I received was first class and any communications between myself and the Business Training Advisors was quick, efficient, very informative and above all, extremely accurate.’
