Testimonials

After being home for 6 years I really enjoyed coming to the course and meet new people. Really enjoyed all the knowledge this course gave me. I think if someone is interested in this career this course is a really good way to start.

(Raquel, Early Learning & Childcare course , May 25)

I started this course after months of unsuccessful job applications. When I started the course, I discovered new skills and career paths. The topics we covered were really interesting, they helped me fix my CV and helped me gain confidence, and my hope to find a job in a different career came back!

(Claudia, Creative Skills for Business course, August 25)

I am very grateful for this course with you. You helped me to learn about new ways of work. I am now planning opening my own business.

(Mohamed, PAT Testing course, September 25)

JobFit understood and met my organisational requirements well.

We have been able to tap into a market of quality, well trained candidates and save significant amounts of money which we can now re-invest into business development and improvement.

(Daniel - Care Support Scotland, April 26)

JobFit have worked closely with us during recruitment (inviting us in to speak with all candidates about careers in childcare and giving us an opportunity to interview individuals) …We work collaboratively together and regularly take on feedback from each other.

(Elizabeth, Manager, Daddy Daycare Edinburgh, April 26)

The Course was really good getting to meet new people and just learn new skills. I would say that something I really benefited from was building the confidence to present in front of a group of people but also made me feel like applying for jobs is a lot easier! I think others would also find it really beneficial if you feel like you don’t know what to get into as it gives you a taste of new interesting things to learn about

(Learner, Workplace Skills in Banking Course, May 25)

The whole experience was a massive improvement for me (…) Instructors were full of knowledge and impacted the knowledge in me. I felt refreshed and full of confidence.
