“The team at the RTITB Instructor Academy is more than helpful and accommodating at all times and their trainers are professional and knowledgeable. The fact that training can be tailored is important for us, and we have always found that courses can be turned around and delivered quickly
Being part of the RTITB Master Driver CPC Consortium has also really benefitted us and given us opportunities to grow our business and enabled us to secure new training customers for our own Academy.
Overall, working with RTITB for our training needs has been valuable, so I have already recommended them to another organisation. We also intend to use the RTITB Instructor Academy for our other upcoming training needs.”
