Testimonial
“SCIE have collaborated with PD Academia in previous years but this was our first face to face workshop for our middle leaders. PD Academia are a standout education supplier as we could build a bespoke training course which was specific to the context of SCIE. I had regularly meetings with Claire in the planning stage of the course and we were able to build in a pre-workshop consultation with the senior leadership team so that we all had the same vision for the learning. Claire partnered with us to ensure the learning had a sustained impact and was not a one off, even hosting a group coaching call in the weeks that followed to support our leaders in activating the learning. The training event itself was also excellent and received exceptional feedback from all involved.”
