Testimonials

" This was our first experience of hiring an apprentice, so Helen’s (Locomotivation Training Specialist) patience and communication with me to help guide me through the structure of the course was really appreciated. She always seemed to give me the info I needed just at the right time and any questions I had she very quicky had the answers for me.

Elliot (Apprentice) commented to me that this was the first positive experience he has had with a ‘teacher’ and appreciated the way she communicated with him. When he made mistakes (like oversleeping and being late for a meeting!!) he was relieved to be treated like an adult by Helen and her understanding that these things can happen, and this really helped him engage positively with the course content.

When Elliot fell behind on his work, Helen was honest with him (and me) and held Elliot to account by setting realistic targets for him to get back on track, in a reasonable time frame. This worked really well for Elliot and showed how well she understood the best approach for him.

She did an amazing job of explaining the EPA (End Point Assessment) to us, so that Elliot was as prepared as possible and so that I could support him in this as well.

Since beginning his apprenticeship Elliot has developed into a fantastic sports coach and now is in the full time employment with us.

It has definitely been a really positive experience and we hope to hire another apprentice in the future. When we do we’ll certainly come to you, and would love to work with Helen again as well."

" I have worked with Locomotivation for a number of years, across 3 different companies within the aviation industry and their services have been proven to be outstanding.

They have been able to build a great rapport with all staff, enabling each individual undertaking the courses offered to better themselves academically and unlocking their true potential. Locomotivation and their staff have proved themselves to be an asset to any company allowing them to operate alongside employees and in turn improving workforce morale, quality and overall worth.

I have personally seen members of my team develop from quiet and subdued followers, into strong, outspoken and reliable leaders, thanks to the guidance and material delivered by the Locomotivation team. "

" We started working with Locomotivation initially because we wanted to offer a great service to our apprentices. Our previous provider was delivering way below what we knew could and should be being delivered; we went looking for a provider that we felt would deliver the level of quality that we were looking for, and then we found Locomotivation.

We knew after a very short time that they were prepared to spend time working out what our company values and aims, as far as apprenticeships were, and they made sure that we knew what we would get from them. Locomotivation make sure that they as a training provider work extremely closely with us to ensure that the programme they deliver is individualised to each learner.

I could not recommend Locomotivation highly enough. "

" We have used the services of Locomotivation for many years now without ever testing the training provision market at any time. Recently we have had staff join us who were already part way through their Apprenticeship with alternative providers and have continued until their training has concluded. I can now safely say that the time given to my staff by Locomotivation is second to none, the Locomotivation staff are approachable, efficient and more understanding of training needs than others and we are fortunate that our assessors never change, the company clearly manages to keep their staff ensuring continuity for the apprentices. Now I know there is no reason to look elsewhere for training "

" I wanted to share that I had a very positive experience throughout my training. It was an amazing opportunity, and I enjoyed learning so much, the information was both interesting and helpful.

I’m also very thankful to Kerry and Kathryn for their help with the Math training, which made a big difference for me.

I also want to thank Jemma and Sarah-Jane for their feedback during the last stage. It was really helpful and made me feel confident about the topics I needed to revise.

I’m grateful for all the support I received. It’s been a great experience, and I appreciate all the time and effort from everyone."

Team Leader or Supervisor Apprenticeship - Level 3

" I would encourage anyone to take up the apprenticeships. I have completed my Level 2 and 3 and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. I have upskilled my functional skills to Level 2, this was a challenge as always felt my ability in maths was not the best, but with the practice sessions I had I soon felt ready to take the test and passed them.

It boosted my confidence and made me realise the only thing that would stop me would be me thinking I couldn't do it "

Tom Brookes
Aviation Operations on the Ground Apprenticeship - Level 3

" I decided to take a Locomotivation course through my work. I studied a Level 2 in Sales and Telesales. I didn't go to university as I wanted to go straight into a job, so being able to a course like this was fantastic.

I had a lovely lady called Jenny, who helped me through my course. My job is pretty hands on, so sometimes Jenny would be waiting for me to be free. I couldn't thank Jenny enough, I struggled with my Dyslexia and sometimes I just needed someone to sit and explain it in more detail for me and she was fantastic.

I felt great receiving my certificate as I had worked so hard and it was all thanks to Jenny.

I would 100% recommend this course "

" I would like to thank Jinny. She was a great motivator and guide. Without her motivation I would never had been able to complete the course. The course has helped me to understand my work better and motivated me to try for management positions."

Aviation Operations on the Ground Apprenticeship - Level 2 and 3

" Initially I was slightly sceptical about the course but I was lucky to have Jinny as my assessor. She made me realise the potential once receiving this qualification. She guided me throughout the qualification. It gave me more confidence when doing functional skills with practice papers and more confidencd in my job role.

I am now applying these skills on a daily basis within my job role and for this I am vey grateful"
