I would definitely recommend Protocol Skills to anyone looking to put in place a national training scheme. The communication of learner information is great and Protocol Skills has a superior reporting process in place so we always know exactly where we are up to!

Since we have given our colleagues the opportunity to complete NVQs and
Apprenticeships we have experienced an increase in motivation and morale and our
colleagues are eager to learn and improve their career prospects. We would like to
thank Protocol Skills for the invaluable difference this has made to the organisation.

In a turbulent economic climate, investing in the skills of the workforce has never been so crucial. Protocol Skills has been able to demonstrate excellent access to government funding enabling our store teams to benefit across the UK. Through Protocol Skills we have been able to support our employees to enhance skills that are specific to their job role so we see the business benefits straight away. This has not only provided support to our in house training proposition, it also gives us a well needed morale boost in these unsettling times

I am pleased we went into partnership with Protocol Skills who now deliver their NVQ programmes to our employees nationwide. Protocol Skills provides a prompt, professional and extremely supportive service to both us the employer and our employees, which I believe comes from their 26 years of experience. I am looking forward to the long rewarding relationship that is ahead.

Protocol Skills’ 26 year experience of delivering work-based learning really highlighted to us that they were a training provider with the expertise we required and who could be relied upon to deliver. With the assistance of our dedicated account manager who understands our business needs perfectly and co-ordinates marketing support to drive learner recruitment, we look forward to a successful working relationship with Protocol Skills over the coming years.

With Protocol Skills we have an exclusive provider who can offer nationwide coverage and consistent delivery, giving all our employees up and down the country access to work-based qualifications. Protocol Skills give us unrivalled account support along with access to up-to-date management reporting which is totally transparent so we always have visibility of learner progress.

Working in partnership with Protocol Skills and their marketing team has been of huge value; they have helped raise awareness amongst our employees of the NVQ and Apprenticeship programmes on offer and the benefits that these qualifications bring.
We have had great support from our Corporate Partnership Manager as well as the
Training Assessors who have been hugely supportive in guiding our colleagues through their qualifications.

We have recently entered into an agreement with Protocol Skills to be our exclusive training provider, choosing to work with them over a number of other providers. As The Restaurant Group is a nationwide chain of restaurants we felt it was important to embrace the opportunity to complete work-based qualifications that complemented our existing training policies and to make these programmes available to all our employees. In order to make this a reality we needed a provider that could consistently deliver across all our sites – up and down the country. With over 600 training assessors, we feel confident Protocol Skills will meet our expectations and will prove to be number one in their field.

Teaming up with Protocol Skills to provide our employees with access to NVQ’s was definitely the right choice for us. We believe in providing our employees with a great place to work, grow and develop which with Protocol Skills’ national coverage, we are able to achieve this across all of our sites.
