Just wanted to let you know what a great trainer Frazer is, not only was he informative but engaging and delivered with enthusiasm and passion. Thoroughly enjoyed this course.

 

Please pass on my thanks.

 

 

Jon Tiley, APLH Northampton, October 2012

I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks for the support and help from one of your trainers, Brett Booth.


He was very informative, friendly and supportive. He had a very wide range of knowledge over many different aspects of the business. He helped us both throughout the training and certainly helped us get through a very busy five days.


I have always been a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due. So I would like to express our sincere thanks to Brett and ABV for their help with the course.

I felt the course opened my eyes, showing me how difficult it really is to manage a NTE and how many different people from the different industries, police, LAs etc are needed to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

 

 I look forward to taking what I have learnt back to my NTE and showing all stakeholders, how we can save the NTE in the city that I am from, and more importantly developing it for a better safer future.

 

The course was run at a good tempo, with plenty of input from everyone around the room, which help visualize some of the case studies.

Good afternoon,

 

Just wanted to pass on our thanks to Peter Fulton for a great training day at The Salutation Inn on 1st July. Great venue and great hospitality.  Licensing is not the most riveting of subjects, but Peter made the course content interactive and the day flew by. He obviously has the right formula as not only did we enjoy the day, we both passed with flying colours!

 

We will, without hesitation, use ABV for any future training courses that we need.

 

Thanks again.

 

John & Sally Murray, APLH, Carlisle, July 2011

Sorry for the delay, but I'd just like to say thank you for the course, it was excellent - extremely useful and interesting at the same time.

 

Really nice meeting you and best of luck for the future.

Hi Frazer

 

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the fabulous training session you hosted today.

 

You made it fun, informative, productive and never boring :)…

 

You inspired my staff which confirmed to me that I have got a great team working for me and that I can leave them while I take on my next challenge safe in the knowledge that they have a pride in themselves and The Queens Head

I look forward to your next visit!

My wife and I attended the BIIAB Level 2 Course for Personal Licence Holders run by ABV in March 2013. Neither of us had any previous knowledge of this subject and were apprehensive about the learning we had to do in just one day. Our trainer Jo Egitto was an inspiration. She is a total professional and really knows how to get the information across. Our group were taught
and tested and taught and tested throughout the day so that our knowledge of the subject became so good that the Exam itself was almost a formality. A brilliant teacher producing amazing results. Thank you

….. “Excellent hands on experience, great tutor with comprehensive knowledge of course & pubs”

 

ABCQ, Cardiff, February 2013 - Tutor Iain Wright

 

 

 

 "We booked a social media course through abv Training as we were very impressed with other courses they have facilitated. The 12 attendees were all different levels of understanding social media. Some (including myself) had never used Twitter before and others were quite experienced. The pace that the course was pitched at was first class. Even new to a lot of what was discussed, I came away able to tweet, understand more about facebook and learned about other tools available. Frazer was an excellent tutor and delivered the course with great enthusiasm which then encouraged all attending to participate fully, which we all did. I would certainly recommend this course for all levels of ability from beginners like myself to those more experienced to give a broader understanding of all social media available."

  

Morag Beattie, Best Bar None Coordinator, Dundee City Council,  Social Media Workshop, January 2013

 

Hi everyone at abv just wanted to send you all a great big thankyou for all the help I received on my recent course with you . A big special thanks goes to Alex who was brilliant.

 

I wasn’t looking forward to doing the course, I have been a landlady for the past 31 years and thought i knew it all but how wrong I was.

 

Alex came to our pub to do the final part of the course he came at about 11.30 am and left at 8.45 pm - now that’s dedication.  Alex went through every thing on the food side with me even down to drawing up a new menu for the pub which he thought would be far better even doing costing for me and finding me suppliers.

 

Our takings are up 180% and still rising. Alex is passionate about his job and has a wealth of knowledge regarding the license trade both Doug and myself are extremely grateful that he passed some of that onto us. If an old cat like myself can learn from a course any one can. A great big thanks once again to all the team especially Alex.

 

By the way he makes great cocktails as well another trick he taught us.

 

Pearl and Doug Hall, Golden Lion, July 2011

Thanks to Frazer as he clearly did a good job with us all - this was one of the most beneficial and enjoyable courses that I have been on for a long time

Regards

Hi Alex
 
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to deliver valuable Fire Safety and Manual Handling training to our team.  All found it to be useful and informative.  We will work together to improve our housekeeping and do our utmost to ensure it remains to a high standard.

 

May I also thank you for carrying out our Fire Risk Assessment.

 

I am most grateful for the literature you have provided on DSE, which I will take time to read and digest before ensuring this is actioned within the team.

 

Ben will be in touch with David to discuss where we go from here and your PR requirements.

 

Once again thank you

 

Kind regards

Brett, the tutor was very knowledgeable, very personable with excellent interpersonal skills. 

 

The course was exactly what I needed.

 

Phill Hopkins, APLH Harrogate, September 2011

Hi Brett,

 

Thanks very much for your effort and help during the week's course last week at the two bridges. feel loads happier having done the course and knowing what to expect in this industry.

 

Jon, Punch Foundation week, South Queensferry November 2011

Good morning

 

My partner and I attended a course at Gloucester Cricket Club in Bristol yesterday Wednesday 14 December and would just like to say what an unexpectedly interesting and enjoyable day it was.  Having had a very difficult journey into Bristol from Warminster we arrived with seconds to spare to be welcomed so cheerfully by Jo.  She made the course so much fun that we took everything in without it being hard work, and this made the final test very straightforward.

 

We fully expect to get our certificate, thanks to excellent presentation by Jo.  Thank you.
