Testimonials

"I can honestly say that making that first call to DM Training was on of the most important phone calls made in my nine years here at NorthLink. The understanding of the NorthLink culture and services we provide, by yourself and the DM team has been the key. From the initial "Mystery Passenger" trip you made, which was the starting point for our whole process of monthly inspections, bolstered by the Customer Journey Training for all areas of the business, has built the foundations for the "Rolls Royce" service we deliver day in, day out."
Peter Hutchinson, Senior Manager Vessel Support Services, NorthLink Ferries
...Just a quick line to say that the Situational Handling and Interpersonal Skills training has taken place and all candidates report enjoying the course. The general opinion from them all is that the trainer, Donna, made it. She kept the interest going and got everyone involved. Very worthwhile."

..."We wanted to write to thank you very much for your support given to some of our Home-Start parents during the skills for retail course. All those who took part were very positive in their feedback. All really enjoyed the course and felt it will be helpful for their future employment opportunities. All involved were really quite vulnerable and the team here believe that you worked so well with them; building their confidence and encouraging them that they can move forward."
