What our clients say about us

Staff Skills’ extensive catalogue allows us to offer both clinical and non-clinical staff opportunities to progress in their careers, try new hobbies and enhance their wellbeing – with such a diverse range of courses to choose from, there’s something for everyone!

Tim Hills, Learning and Development Lead
James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Staff Skills academy+ provides an easy, flexible way for individuals to participate in learning. The platform is user-friendly, with a wide range of topics available. Even those who may not have engaged with online learning previously have fed back that it was "easier to use than expected" and they "enjoyed working through the modules". As a client, I value the positive learner experience the platform brings and this, along with the cost-effectiveness and the fantastic technical support, is why I continue to be a client.

Claire James, Project Development Manager
Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union

We really appreciate all Staff Skills' time and effort over the past few years. The resources look great – they are very professional – and the management of the process has been first-rate throughout.

Mike Chapman, Assistant Principal
Darlington College

This partnership has been a total game changer. We need to stay up to date with our regulatory training - safeguarding and first aid - so we do this through Staff Skills academy+. We’ve also done the mental health awareness training so we can recognise the signs and know what to do when people are struggling. We couldn’t do what we do without Staff Skills academy+.

Lesley Lowden-Smith, Trust Income & Operations Manager
Teens Unite

Staff Skills academy+ is an ideal training platform: the information’s extremely straightforward and easy to understand, the price makes it an affordable and accessible solution, and there’s an extremely knowledgeable and easy-to-talk-to team on hand if you need them.

David Boyes, Chairperson
Cumbernauld Community Learning Centre

The Staff Skills academy+ learning format appealed to me more than the idea of travelling long distances and struggling to keep up with younger and educationally advanced peers. Studying any type of online course might not be for everyone – however, the benefits in my case have made it a worthwhile and an enjoyable experience.
