More information for Learners

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course, the content, and the way it was delivered exceeded any expectations I had. This course really challenged me to change how I view supporting and upskilling others and helped me to develop my own skills within my job role.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Bootcamp delivered by Mick and Alan at Netzer0solutions. The discussions were engaging and very informative and some of the climate information was alarming but demonstrated the speed at which we need to implement change in order to thrive as a human race. The rate of learning for myself and the other delegates was rapid and it was especially good the see the progress that the younger delegates made and their willingness to embrace the knowledge. The bootcamp was practical in nature and designed to build strategies that weave sustainability into all areas of business. To this end I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to build long term, sustainable strategies designed to overcome the challenges they will face from climate change, evolving customer habits and law and legislative demands.

I was a complete novice when I did the bootcamp and had never so much as looked at Illustrator and the other packages. I have created flyers that have been used for presentations and trade shows. I think the key to the bootcamp was it gave me the confidence to open the package and try and then the skills to develop what I could achieve. I am constantly learning new things and still refer to my notes from the training, it was invaluable.

The boot camp has given me the confidence to put myself out there and try something new which has been the best thing I have done. It has equipped me with enough knowledge to get a foot in the door and show my potential to myself and my employer. When I first started I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew but the support from square one was so good they encouraged me to keep going and did everything they could to ensure my success. The Excel course I took have been a massive investment and helped me in what at first seemed quite overwhelming, it gave me the confidence to know I could do it and take those skills into the work place. Square one send out regular handy tips and hints for excel which I often look at and have taken some for myself in the workplace.

I particularly enjoyed the face-to-face training sessions and the ‘zoom’ training sessions, in particular the tabletop exercises that enabled me to put into practice any response to a given event situation, building upon my developed learning and skills. It was also good to understand the legislation and requirements from a more strategic perspective of the Safety Officer and Safety Management team in the requirements necessary for an event to be put on and the legislation, policies and procedures that need to be in place. I enjoyed the practical day on Basic First Aid training as part of my CPD and gaining a recognised certificate. One factor I found impressive was the knowledge and skills of the trainers on the course who were frequently quizzed on matters outside of the course content and clearly demonstrated a wealth of knowledge in Security and Safety, and were very welcoming to.

As an agricultural business there are times of the year when the weather determines how much work can be undertaken. My partner told me about the Skills Bootcamp in HGV driving and this seemed like a natural addition to the business. Throughout the training John, Kev and Troy really helped me to make the most of the training. Theory sessions were flexible, with a good mix of face to face and online. The practical sessions covered everything I needed to know and Troy was very good at explaining how everything worked.

Working on branding and closest to the customer, Josh has a vast experience of working with several companies prior to working at Moran’s Wood Components. He undertook ten days in-house training in Lean Leadership and applied it within work with a continuous Improvement project. He stated, when asked about the course material, ‘I had previous experience but gained a lot of detailed experience about work processes, enjoyed learning and gained a lot of knowledge’. When asked about the delivery of the project and presentation to the business Directors. ‘I think working with team leads as a problem solver and managing some of the work flow has really been a change in myself.’ As a result of the programme, he recognised that he had changed his outlook in work, ‘It has made me more confident in the workplace and better to communicate with.
