Excellent course, great trainer, very clear to learn the information provided. Thank you!
Attended a full Safeguarding Train the Trainer course and found myself in a relaxed and friendly environment, captivated by an extremely experienced and knowledgeable trainer! It was a large group of around 14 candidates but the course was well guided and each Individual was given the time they needed to ask questions and share personal experiences! All in all a thoroughly enjoyable course, Thank you Franklins
Excellent company offering a wide range of valuable courses. The trainers are very knowledgable in their professions and deliver an outstanding training package.
Refreshed my memory from previous external training and gave additional information. Using real fire to extinguish was more practical and informative.
At the care home I work in and previous ones we have had Franklins do the fire and basic first aid training, this week we had the fabulous Gary Ellis do the training and he is a wonderful approachable trainer who answers every question thoroughly, would recommend him every time.
