First Aid Training

From the first contact I made with this company through to the training delivered, I received professional and efficient service throughout.

Jamie was extremely helpful and responded immediately to my emails, I was very impressed with the service I received. The tutor Angie was friendly and delivered the training session well and at a steady pace.

I would 100% recommend this company for the first aid training I experienced.

Very thorough and well delivered course. A shame their are no facilities for lunch and the parking was slightly unclear so we got blocked in. Very good training course though!

Reply from Social Enterprise Kent CIC

Hi Eleanor, thank you for sharing your thoughts about the training, and we're happy you enjoyed the session. :) we're sorry to hear that you were blocked in and may not have been informed about the lunch facilities.

There are just a couple of points regarding our facilities that I would like to touch on. The booking confirmation states “Please bring lunch with you. Alternatively, SEK offers a sandwich lunch on the day for £4.50pp”.

With regards to parking, we have a dedicated car park which has ample parking for all our delegates and staff; this information is on the "How to Find Us" which includes a large picture and is sent with the confirmation. The trainer also mentioned this before the session started. Unfortunately, you parked in one of the other companies spaces and they tend to block each other in.

We hope this addresses any concerns and we hope to see you again soon. :)

We are a new company and found the support given by Jamie and the team at SEK absolutely first class. We booked the moving & handling training for our staff which was led by the trainer Mel. The feedback from one of our staff was 'I have to say it was outstanding, the best moving and handling training I have ever been to in the 40 years of my nursing career. Thank you.'

Being a complete novice in Excel I attended the SEK basic Excel course.
By the end of the morning I could do basic functions and formulas.
The tutor was very good and the class was a small group which allowed plenty of time to ask questions and get support with problems.
I would thoroughly recommend this course and SEK to other Novices like me.

My Managers and I attended the Basic Excel training recently. We found it very informative and have been able to put into practice our new skills back in the office.
We have recommended this training to all of our home managers within the company.

Excellent Accredited Paediatric First Aid course

I thought Angie our course leader was excellent. She delivered the course at a pace that we were all happy with and her knowledge of the subject was sound. She put us all at ease and made us feel confident in our own abilities. We learned a lot over the two days.

The whole experience was great from initial booking, to the training and follow up. SEK were easy to book through, incredibly accommodating and helpful - even suggesting the most cost effective way to book so we booked a bespoke first aid course. The trainer was very knowledgeable and feedback from staff was that they all felt so much more confident with emergency first aid than when they started. We will definitely use SEK again for our future training needs.

Myself and a colleague attending this SEK course and we were incredibly pleased with the energy and enthusiasm of the trainer Ana. The course was full of content and was paced really well throughout the day. The venue is easy to find and very comfortable adding to the excellence of the day.

Our experience in using the Pebble Room for interviewing purposes was excellent: from being met and greeted, and being made comfortable to the unexpected additional service of taking care of our interviewees and providing a photocopy service for the DBS evidence................... we wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys. Thank you!

Management and Mental Health Awareness Training

Have attended a number of management courses at SEK and also had mental health awareness training with a visiting trainer at our workplace. All the trainers were very knowledgeable and professional and made the courses interactive and interesting. I will now be able to put my new skills into practice in my new job role
