Subway

Your system is the best on the market and while your competitors can match for course content, they can't match the admin functions and ability to have a two-tier system for assessments so staff are allocated a manager to manage their training and assessment. This is why it is always important for us to test the market with the criteria we need rather than just price.

Government Body

We have recently purchased the Health and Safety e-learning package from EssentialSkillz and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for an e-learning solution for their Health and Safety training.

Richmondshire Council

The level of support & technical assistance has been exceptional. All queries have been resolved very quickly. They are then followed up to ensure we are comfortable with what has been shown, explained or implemented.
