I have completed a number of training courses at Focus in Plymouth recently, and have had nothing but positive experiences. The courses are well structured, and the lecturer very knowledgeable.

Colin

I recently attended  Core and Reassessment courses and have to say the trainer was excellent in his manner and patience.

Many students place unnecessary stress on themselves and often doubt their own abilities, but the trainer’s calm, clear delivery of knowledge was exceptional.

I will highly recommend Focus Training to everyone going forward.

Completing my Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship gave me valuable knowledge and experience to aid my workplace responsibilities. I felt supported throughout my learning and would recommend this apprenticeship to anyone who wants to begin a career in the business sector.

I am absolutely blown away. I will never be able to thank Lea enough for the support and guidance she has given me throughout my Level 3 Care qualification. It has been incredibly tough at times due to personal and professional challenges, but her help made all the difference.

Whoever she supports now or in the future is truly very lucky to have her.

Massive shout out to Neil and the Focus Training Group for supporting me and getting me through my level 3 apprenticeship in Business Admin.
I am very proud to achieve a Distinction in all areas and my final result!
I couldn’t have done it without the support and guidance that Neil and the Group gave me throughout the last year or so.
