"My tutor was very professional and quickly helped me build my confidence on the computer. She showed me a bit at a time , explaining each stage in plain English. The atmosphere was relaxed and the time flew by. I can now do so much more without asking for help, and I'm not frightened of trying things"

Keith Stanner, Security Officer, F Ball & Co.

“We want team players with good timekeeping skills and strong work ethics. The Skillsbase team has always offered a really effective matching service so we get an Apprentice that fits right in.”

Pip Nadin, owner of The Salon

“Employing 14 people, taking on another salary was a big move for us. We didn’t want a dogsbody but someone who would add real value. Skillsbase provided us with screened candidates, designed day release training at Leek College and managed the Apprenticeship for us. We gained two employees who wanted to learn, proved cost effective and are still an asset to the business.”

Jeremy Green, Managing Director, Falco UK
