"Kate Gough (from Further Training) is a very driven and motivated individual who would move mountains to achieve my Training needs within the Murphy Group. The key to Kate's effectiveness is her communication skills, there is never a problem only a solution. Working with Kate is a pleasure. I look forward to working with her in the years to come.”

"We’ve been working with Further Training for the past few years; they always deliver results, our staff are treated professionally and nothing is ever a problem!  Our staff like the relaxed and friendly atmosphere trainers such as Kate create for learning".

"The course was incredibly useful for my professional development; it has given me new management and leadership skills and helped me to develop and build on those I already had. The opportunity to study in partnership with colleagues from other Birmingham arts organisations made the course even more relevant and provided a fantastic networking opportunity – as well as allowing us to forge new friendships.”

"I met further training in January 2010 to discuss how our organisations might work together to deliver management development training. At that point it all seemed rather daunting but with tremendous support from Jane Bonehill, we signed up 13 delegates for the Institute of Learning and Management Level 3 NVQ. In September 2010 these 13 delegates embarked on the course and almost a year to the day we celebrated the fact that 13 delegates finished the course and 13 delegates graduated. I feel privileged to have worked with such a dedicated team in the first of what I hope will be many more collaborative projects with CBSO and the Rep."

"The course was a great opportunity to meet new people from different arts organisations and discuss management strategies that I can now implement in my role as Education Officer."
