Customers Reviews

Hannah Moscrop

Great trainer - really engaging, explained everything well and had really helpful, good activities. (As a side note though, we have never been told beforehand who the trainer for any of our TKA courses was, so unsure how a recommendation to a friend could be translated into them doing a course with that trainer except by chance?)

James Aquilina

I can only provide positive feedback about Rachel Thomson both in terms of the training delivery flow and her thorough preparedness on the MOP subject.

Rhea Durrington-Hayes

This is the third course I have taken in a matter in months with Knowledge academy and this was by far the best learning experience so far. A smaller group definitely helped and Rachel was great at getting us to engage and participate in discussion.
