I would absolutely recommend Novo Training and already have to a few friends; the team are great and supportive throughout, I love them!

Bal Khalsi, Careers Adviser – Birmingham Careers Service

I find Novo is just the training provider that was needed offering a range of Traineeships, especially as construction and motor vehicle are sought after and there are not many providers that offer this career path. I regularly recommend and have passed on Novo Training’s details to other Training Providers and circulate details to all Careers Advisers and networking organisations.

I personally have placed a number of young people with Novo, as I found the team to be very flexible and accommodating to the young person’s needs – especially when the young individual has barriers i.e. not been doing anything for a while, does not have any qualifications, lacking confidence etc.

In my experience with Novo, they express great care for their trainees and operate solely in the interests of the learner’s growth and welfare. It’s been nothing short of a pleasure working with Novo Training and I would recommend to other employers.

"One thing I have taken away from the Traineeship is confidence for sure. The tutor broke things down in a way everyone understood. I understand things, but sometimes I don’t understand how to get there, Richard bridged a gap in a way I didn’t see before."

Dylan Goodier

"My favourite part of the classroom sessions has been updating my profile, such as my CV and LinkedIn. It has helped me unlock my potential and now my profile has a professional feel to them, which is specific to the Finance sector."

"The main thing I will take away from the Traineeship is how to budget and split my money to make sure I have enough left to cover the whole month. This isn’t something you are taught in school or college."

Georgia Bidle

Fleetwood

"My favourite part of the Traineeship was starting the work placement and engaging with the children. I requested a school in Fleetwood and the Learner Support Team managed to secure me a place at Shakespeare Primary School. Now, thanks to Novo, I have first-hand experience in the Education sector that I can take with me to secure a job."

"On the second day, I wanted to give up on the Traineeship, however, Richard didn’t give up on me. He gave me a call, reassured me and reminded me of all the benefits that will come out of completing this Traineeship. Now I am about to start a work placement at a marketing agency in Liverpool!"
