“I launched Concrew Training in March 2014 with the simple goal of delivering “high quality training, at affordable prices, with first class customer service”.
With a background in blue chip retail operational management and a further 15 years supporting CPD development in the further educational sector; I knew that employing first class, subject specialist trainers and keeping a very tight control costs was the way forward.
After 12 years of success Concrew Training’s core values and visions remain the same, but 4 notable improvements have made our offer even better:
1. We still deliver courses on our clients’ premises but we now also offer all our courses online via video conferencing platforms. This route offers even lower prices and higher value.
2.Invoice payment can now be made by card. This makes it easier for clients to pay and it increases financial security for clients looking to obtain discounts for paying in advance.
3. Our customer base is much larger and includes even more high profile names – no surprises there, everybody likes outstanding quality and low prices.
4. All courses, except our one hour lectures, now include a 12 month after care service; where we are happy to respond to course topic related emailed enquiries.
The name Concrew Training comes from the old and what was in 2014 a largely obsolete word, “Concrew” which means “to grow together”. Concrew Training seems as appropriate today as it did 12 years ago, and given the latest pressures on financial budgets maybe more so.
