Joe E – Level 5 Award in Leadership & Management
Star rating overall: 5*
Review date: 08/04/2021
“Losing my job as a Civil Engineer during the middle of a global pandemic was somewhat disorientating, which affected my identity and sense of future. I first contacted CCW to discuss a quick fix solution to gaps that had been highlighted by my former employer to justify my redundancy, thinking this would be the quickest route back into the industry. With Mike’s vast knowledge of the industry and years of experience delivering training courses he was quick to point out that training in these areas would serve no advantage to the career path I wished to follow. Mike helped me to reflect on my long-term goals and career aspirations and it was concluded the ILM level 5 Award in Leadership and Management was my best option. I really enjoyed this course; it was particularly good that everyone around the table were from different backgrounds which led to a wide range of experiences which could be shared and discussed. The course content could be adapted to any work-related situation. Glen was good at getting us to think for ourselves and gave tips on improving our way of thinking. The final assignment allowed you to call upon your own experience and think of new ways to manage your projects and associated risks. The course helped me to look further ‘outside the box’ for a new job. An opportunity on the client side of the industry was brought to my attention while I was still studying at the centre. I discussed the role with Mike who offered me advice with my application. I later used part of my assignment to present at my interview which secured me the job in a role that is higher paid and far more satisfying than my previous job”. The centre offers a welcoming environment and is located a stone throw away from Cathays train station or a short walk from the main stations and bus routes. Alternatively, there is convenient on street pay and display parking outside the centre. Harri is always at hand if you require any additional information and is very knowledgeable with current ReAct requirements and application.
Bryn Phillips – ILM Management Training for Managers
Review date: May 2020
The ILM endorsed course in Leadership & Management delivered by CCW-Training Academy was a perfect choice for me. The course was delivered in a professional but relaxed way, with plenty of interaction between the course attendees and the tutors. Any and all questions were answered in a clear and concise manner, backed up by practical examples and personal experiences. The ILM course was packed full of information in the form of handouts, videos, and ‘in class’ internet presentations. As a recently appointed manager of a medium sized multi-national workforce, the training, information and practical examples delivered by CCW and their tutors will be invaluable in my ongoing role. The Leadership & Management course has certainly enhanced my knowledge and understanding of business and personnel management, and has provided some alternative strategies that I will now employ in the future. I would recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of improving their knowledge & skills in their current role, or who is considering career development.

It’s a very friendly place, have been on a few training courses and this is by far one of the best. they have alot of time to help you and there are only a handful of people on the course at one time makes it feel a little more personal. Will be back for more training in the future.

I’ve undertaken a few courses with CCW. All of them were excellent, taught at a good pace but covered everything that was required. I found CCW to be a very professional, friendly team with great facilities for training. The arrangements and administration were always excellent and Harri was always on hand to sort out any queries. The practice interview that Mike Tan gave me was excellent and definitely helped me in interviews that I had later. I would definitely recommend CCW to others who wish to undertake excellent training without having to drag courses on for months. Thanks again for all your help.

I found Careers Change Wales online when I was looking for a provider who could support training through the ReAct scheme. Although I am based in North Wales, from my initial telephone conversation with Harri they couldn’t have been more helpful and very quickly offered up a solution to be able to accommodate my training. When I attended the training week I found all the team members of CCW equally as friendly and helpful. In my case the training days were either very small groups or one to one and the trainers were able to make the training work really well for that environment. I found all the trainers very knowledgeable in their area and willing to share their personal experience to make the training relevant and relatable. On completion of the course Mike could not stress enough that they would be happy to offer any ongoing support they could, and true to his word Mike has since provided me with advice and support that has assisted me in securing a new role. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend CCW to anyone looking for personal development and skills training.

I had heard about CCW from a postgraduate student I was mentoring as a Senior Lecturer. So when I wanted to retrain I knew that I wanted to work with CCW. Their reputation for quality and reliability proceeds them as trainers and IT specialists. When Mike Tan interviewed me he was very encouraging and I knew I was in safe hands. Mike shared about his own experiences in his career and I sensed that he understood what it takes to change careers. The training provided was excellent and the follow-up was solid. CCW offered me some really excellent follow up opportunities and I managed to secure an excellent Job in the sector I wanted to move to. Thank you CCW, I appreciated the high quality of what CCW provided.

I attended a two-day Intermediate AutoCAD course February 2019. Having used AutoCAD for over 15 years Architecturally (self-taught) I was not expecting to learn a great deal however I was mistaken. The course taken by Mr A McCarron whom was excellent, very informative, and I must say he has certainly expanded my horizons as to what the possibilities are using computer aided design for alternative career paths.
Brilliant course, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

High praise for the training I received recently – a friendly team who are willing to help in any way they can. I studied Excel, Power Point, Word and IT and feel I have a much better understanding of these subjects. Mike professionally sorted my CV and Harri was sorting out all the arrangements and also doing some of the training. Overall, a great experience. Thanks guys

I attended two course here, both for excel. I have to say, the pace in which the tutor (Richard) took his class through each phase was excellent. Most importantly, they taught the Why things are done which enabled me to gain a clear understanding of what needed to be done. At last, I feel I can control my computer, not my computer control me. I would highly recommend these as the go to people if you want to enhance your skillset or even just get started.

CCW is a great place, I not only learnt something new, but also improved my skills in many aspects. There are several courses such as ICT courses, ILM courses, HR courses etc. It was a pleasure to attend different courses such as managing personal development, understanding leadership, customer care, risk assessment, Microsoft offices training, etc. All team members are friendly and helpful. All tutors are professional when you attend the training, it’s not like the training is over, they share contacts with you to discuss about further questions and exchange the suggestions. It was really a fulfilling training for me to improve myself. I recommend this place to people who are trying to find this kind of professional training provider. Many thanks to CCW Training Academy Team.

Excellent course really enjoyed it, to anyone who is or has used CAD without recieving any formal training like myself you really do need to sit the 5 day course. I spent 14 years self trained using CAD, I was responsible for shop floor layouts but recently was made redundant so with the help of ReAct recieved funding for the 5 day CAD course with CCW, the course really opened my eyes to the way the CAD should be used and learnt so much in the 5 days would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in using CAD.

I really enjoyed the autocad course I attended, there was only 3 of us so felt I had more one to one time with the tutor. The course was very informative and the tutor helped me with any questions I had and I learnt a lot in a short period of time. Would happily use CCW for courses in the future and will recommend them to anyone.

Having just completed an ILM Level 5 award in Leadership and Management, I was really impressed with the quality of tuition I received at CCW. Mike and Glen’s backgrounds meant they had a wealth of experience from which they could draw on real-life examples when delivering the course material. Applying the theory to relevant work-based situations helped me to really understand and absorb the course content. All the staff were friendly and helpful and were very prompt at responding if I ever had any queries. I would definitely use CCW in the future to support my learning and development.

Attended the AutoCad Course 5day – Excellent Experience. Due to the small group sizes the training was both intensive, personal and beneficial. The Tutor (Ace) was excellent both in explaining the tasks and the ways to perform them. Would highly recommend. Cant wait for a full weeks 3D course to be set up.
