Reviews

This is the first, truly independently accredited course for workplace assessors and proves that we really know our subject. It also helps managers quickly identify any weaknesses in a new assessors knowledge so that we can manage their learning and quickly bring them up to the standard that Momentum Scotland insists it assessors reach and at the same time ensure that we serve our customers well by making sure that they get the best value solutions that they need for their particular job and disability.

5 STARS – A suitably engaging, challenging and informative course that has certainly left me better equipped for the role than I was before starting it.
