Feedback from learner Matt in support of Gavin, FWD Coach

“Gavin’s help and guidance on my Apprenticeship journey was fantastic, he was always reliable, clear and timely. Gavin massively helped me get through my R01 exam by providing me with resources, frequent mini tests and putting in a revision structure to get me across the line.

His help wasn’t limited to helping me pass my exam, his guidance was also exceptional in getting me to complete my portfolio. This seemed like a massive piece of work but Gavin clearly knew how to assist his learners get through it and make it much more manageable.”

Feedback to Coach Anna from her learner, Sim

“I really appreciate all of the help, support and effort you have provided over the last year or so. I hope the next trainer is as enthusiastic as you.

You have helped make the apprenticeship seem like something achievable that I can work towards rather than it being a burden (having to write essays). You’ve tried to work with me as best as possible and found innovative ways to evidence some of the work I have been doing”

Feedback to Alison from Learner Olly

Thank you again, and have a lovely weekend.”

Feedback from Learner

“The coaching sessions with David have been really useful and enjoyable. David has offered some really good advice and I’m particularly interested in the career development side and disusing my PDP with David in the future. The Time Management coaching session was useful also, we discussed the methods I currently use to help manage my day effectively and David offered some really good tips that I will put into practice going forward. I like the idea of taking 10-15 minutes at the end of each day to reflect on what has been achieved, the things that went well and things that maybe didn’t go so well. I believe that this could be an effective way to recognise areas where I may need to make some adjustments to how I work, a really good piece of advice.

Following the initial induction with FWD, my introduction session with David and our latest coaching session on 16/06, it feels like I am now fully on board and on the way to achieving further professional qualifications that will hopefully stand me in good stead for future career development. I am enjoying working with David and believe that he is the right coach to help me develop my skills & knowledge and achieve my future goals.”

Feedback from Employer Suzanne Stallwood

“Davies Learning Solutions have been our apprenticeship partners for almost 3 years delivering programmes to school leavers, graduates & existing staff, covering certificate through to advanced diploma (ACII) qualifications. I particularly value their focus on high quality specialist coaches, who can genuinely add value to our staff at all levels.

At a strategic level, Davies Learning Solutions are a great partner, supporting us with internal communications & promotion of the value of apprenticeships. They also helped us run an L&D early careers forum event on emerging talent in the sector which we hosted successfully last year. I would highly recommend Davies Learning Solutions as a very capable provider & valued partner.”
