Testimonials

“Jane was introduced to me when I was studying for JO2 and she was an enormous help. Her knowledge is excellent and, with her help, I passed the exam on the first sitting. Jane has since helped me with AF5 and her analysis of the fact find and attention to detail meant that there were no surprises in the exam. I would recommend Jane to anyone looking for that extra support in getting through these exams. I have no doubt that she could make the difference between a pass or a fail.”

"In business there is all too often too little time; it was therefore refreshing to note that Jane makes time count with her students, with the effect that seemingly complex learning points come crystal clear."

“Jane is one of the most knowledgeable technical trainers I have ever known. Her knowledge is superior and contemporary yet she is able to put topics into context and explain well. She has excellent training skills and has that natural and yet often rare talent of being able to articulate information so that her learners can understand well. Jane is highly professional and committed to her work. I would dearly love to work with Jane again and would highly recommend her and her work. A valuable asset.”
