Great company very dedicated

In business you work with many other businesses. Some work, some don't. Some truly excel and on them your success often depends. The Licensing Guys is one of these. Their service is fast, conscientious, and expert. They are all gamekeepers turned poachers. Every member of the staff used to work for some sort of authority and expertly brought their experience of the other side to bear in securing my licence. They never missed a beat. Reba, my main contact was truly excellent. If anything, she was more keen to get the docs in than I was myself. Always on top of everything and highly knowledgeable, she always had time to explain things to me. Communication was excellent. She kept me informed every step of the way. We took the application through a full hearing. I was fully prepped, briefed, and represented. They even did a detailed debrief after the hearing to make sure I understood the implications of everything discussed. Seriously, hire them! It will be one of the best business decisions you ever make.

Thanks for the review. Apologies for the delay. As you did not do the learning through us and had an old qualification from pre 2017 we had to do the research as to whether this was valid for you. Unfortunately we have to prioritise our workload on our current clients but we got there with the information you needed although it took a few hours to respond. We hope the handy application guide we sent you will help with your application. TLG Paul

Thanks for the review. There is a mock exam that can be used for practice on the exam booking confirmation that we send out. We also provide the study guide when you sign into the learning. Hopefully these resources are enough to give the learner a good understanding alongside the main e-learning course and a change to practice before the exam.
