  “I have undertaken a number of qualifications with AT Direct Ltd around assessments and quality assurance processes whilst working for the NYA Academy and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Staff members were not only approachable and excellent communicators but they took time to understand my work setting within youth work training. This enabled me to engage with the courses in a much more bespoke way that embedded my…More

  " I was put onto ATDirect through ELCAS military resettlement learning credits, Kevin got back to my enquiry within 24 hours and we discussed completing the course vocationally due to my work commitments, I don’t think I’d be able to recommend anyone else other than ATDirect, brilliant course and Kevin was great to work with."

"I completed both the Trainer and Assessor courses (Lv3). I enjoyed both and felt I learned a lot. The biggest thing I can say however is that they were patient and understanding as I was delayed due to outside circumstances. Peter was compassionate and worked with me to help me through. Would train with them again for sure."

Swift Childcare

  "Swift identified very early on that the best assessors come from those directly in the sector, the ones with the current hands on experience. We then needed to find a company to train our trainers, this needed to be a company that was flexible and supportive, this is where we found Kevin and ATDirect. Over the last 7 years Swift has used the support of ATDirect to achieve several…More

  "I recently completed my L3 CAVA with Kevin and ATDirect. Kevin made it very accessible and helped at each stage. He took time to assist wherever I needed it. The supporting literature and documents were easy to follow and I even learned some new IT skills on the way. If it was possible to give 6 stars I would without hesitation. Thanks Kevin and ATDirect."
