Customer testimonial

Very informative and trainer (Alison) was very clear in her dialogue and helped the information to sink in with her different scenarios that she had experienced.

C.M , Lexicraft Limited

The best bit about the courses were the fantastic tutors!

Debbie Birch , British Safety Council

I thoroughly enjoyed the four courses with Impellus.

I found doing the ‘Process, questions, objections and value’ course first really beneficial as it set a good foundation to build on. It’s a great course for looking at your job role and what you, as an individual, add to your organisation. It could be used as a motivational tool for anyone feeling a little discouraged.

Effective Communication is a great skills course for any level of staff. It has a good enough mix of exercises and theories to keep you interested and even the most experienced in the group agreed they had learned something.

Ann Fletcher , Building Engineering Services Association

David James is a great and engaging presenter and course leader. The content is a good mix of theory and practical, group and breakout sessions.

L.S , Publitek Ltd

The mix of visual presenting by David as well as activities and slides was excellent and meant at no time was there any lack of interest
