Communication from the start has been great, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it beneficial for preparing for the next audit by UKAS. Trainers were great and very knowledgeable and personable.

Julie Boulin - Learner

Communication from the UKAS Academy has been fantastic from the start. Throughout the course the tutors were helpful in answering questions, and providing any information we needed. I found the booklet we were supplied with very helpful, and thoroughly enjoyed the role play sections (an area I normally dread!). A very informative course.

Leanne Laidler - Learner

Very friendly and knowledgeable tutors, who really helped boost our confidence for carrying out internal audits in the near future.

Anonymous - Learner

All preparation materials and instructions were sent in plenty of time beforehand and were clear and easy to follow. The team were extremely helpful in assisting with technology problems and how to rectify them. Teaching delivered in various mediums to keep us engaged. Working in groups and then having feedback sessions also gave the opportunity for discussion and different perspectives. Well thought out and presented course. Not easy to be done virtually but it works! Lots of support and information before and during.

Stephanie Geddes - Learner

Our instructor was first class and made us all feel at ease. The course was well presented and interesting throughout. Well worth attending, thank you.
