Delegates from our recent cohorts gave the following reviews of the Skills Bootcamp, illustrating the depth of information available:

“A really enjoyable and positive experience. I will lead a number of projects in a bid to reduce costs with my knowledge gained over the 10 day course.”

– Naomi Curley, Management Accountant for Carvansons Ltd, Rossendale

“I am able to negotiate better with new and existing customers regarding selling, transport, tax and duties. By explaining all the information to customers I have won orders.”

– Lucile Courseaux, Export Sales for M Chapman & Sons (Textiles), Burnley

“I had been looking for a comprehensive course which would develop skills in all aspects of international trade, particularly the movement of goods. The number of courses suitable for role such as mine is incredibly limited and otherwise would require attendance of several separate courses which many SME’s do not have the budget to do. The depth of information taught on the bootcamp is like no other I have seen available, and the funding provided meant it was accessible to me.

“I found the bootcamp very positive – my understanding of the topics covered has increased significantly. The information was presented expertly, and each session allowed for open and collaborative discussion. I found the environment to be engaging which allowed me to take in the information easily.

“I would recommend anyone who has a role involved with import and export to enrol in the bootcamp. The knowledge I have gained while enrolled on the bootcamp has developed my skills significantly. I find myself using these skills and knowledge daily in my role”.

– Aaron Heaton, Freight Coordinator for Slingco Ltd, Rawtenstall
