Testimonials

Emma Leese’s knowledge on training around the Northeast is proven to be second to none, she is my first point of call when looking for training I have no clue about and can always point me in the right direction. We have been working alongside Emma for many years now and nothing is ever too much, and she is always there for any advice required. The courses the lads have attended with simply learning have been outstanding and they always have plenty of praise to give at the end. Well done and keep up the great work as one of the best training providers in the Northeast!

Absolute Civil Engineering

Exceptional customer experience, every time and there has been many! Emma and the Simply Learning team have been a great support to Green Spark Utility Services and our Health and Safety training needs over the years and myself and the GSU team cannot recommend enough! Some may say proof is in the pudding, so try that pudding for a stress-free training experience you and your business will not regret

Green Spark Utility Services

I am writing to express our whole-hearted gratitude for the hospitality your Company provided on the recent High Risk Confined Space and Rescue course.  The professionalism and patience shown from the initial interest to final booking was very much appreciated.  The extra time put in was certainly worthwhile and hopefully provided the foundations for a continual business association.  It was a privilege for our team to work with such a dedicated civilian company who tailored the course to suit our needs. Such service and rapport builds great working relationships, I will certainly be recommending for any similar training requirements through my Chain of Command.

Royal Air Force (RAF)

I recently attended an Asbestos Awareness course ran by Phil  and I must say it exceeded my expectations.  I learned a great deal about ACM's, its history, and how to manage it etc.  Having been in the USA for 8 years it was great to come back and see huge progress in this area.  I will be recommending this course delivery to all of my team.

Lynemouth Power ltd

The Confined Space course that myself and my colleagues attended at your training centre was very well received by all, we found it well delivered and the practical sessions were especially pertinent to our future operational duties. During the course the trainer took the time to review the method and risk assessments I had written for the job we were soon to start. On our first entry into a real life confined space all the training delivered came into play all too soon as we had a real life emergency evacuation. We realised from that point on the value of good training.

Lloyds British Testing Ltd

I would not hesitate to recommend to any of my colleagues. Thank you for a great service, keep it up!

Engineering Organisation

The feeling from the workforce has been expressed on a number of occasions commenting upon the high quality of the training not to mention the skill and expertise of the various trainers they have had the pleasure of working under. I have always found your staff friendly, professional and very flexible to to our requirements and would not hesitate in recommending your training centre to others. The facilities for Confined Spaces training are second to none and as a result have left lasting impressions upon our manual employees, bringing instantly to them for the need for strict safety procedures and techniques. Your training staff are very accommodating and able to tailor the training to meet specific service requirements. I look forward to our continued training partnership for many years to come.

South Tyneside Council

Staff always try to go the extra mile to assist with any late or urgent training requests that we might have. I have always received great feedback and assistance from staff while trying to arrange any courses. Thank you!

Engineering Organisation

I have dealt with the company for many years during which time they have provided us with an excellent service in the areas of Health and Safety and Plant Training. The trainers are well qualified, the centre is accredited and they offer guidance and support before and after the training event. Being familiar with our work and our premises and having built up a partnership over time, the company are the perfect training provider for us. Their training expertise is well documented and reliable. I can confidently recommend as a solid and reliable supplier, and experts in their field.

A&P Tyne Limited

Everything from my initial enquiry to the booking has been dealt with professionally and every member of the team I have spoken with has been very friendly and have gone over and above to meet my training needs.

Engineering Organisation

Claire and all her team, in particular Maria, made our annual training event a success. Delivering 15 different courses , over 2 weeks for 21 staff is a huge task. No request was too difficult and all our training aims and objectives for this year were met. The feedback from our staff has been all positive. This has been the fourth successful year of training and we intend to carry on using their services in the future. Many thanks for making the very complicated training programme a success.

Rosh Engineering Ltd

We have been using the company for over 5 years now.; initially they delivered Over Head Crane Training and Abrasive Wheels. We found their office staff very knowledgeable and helpful when deciding which training courses would best suit our needs and requirements. They are always able to deliver on-site training and often at short notice. Their trainers are very competent in their field and this is reflected in the standard of output by the workforce. Since then we have arranged numerous other training courses including Train the Trainer which has been valuable to our business needs. I would have no hesitation when recommending them to an organisation looking for a solid, all round training provider.
