Testimonials
The content of the course on all days was very good. I particularly benefitted from AJT's use of two consultants throughout the week. It was great to have different perspectives and it kept the training fresh and interesting. Furthermore, the consultants were excellent at training being both knowledgeable and clear. Finally, I would like to say that I was impressed with AJT for delivering a personalised service. Everyone knew me by name and were extremely helpful and friendly. I hope to return to AJT in the future.
