"I have been really impressed with the way the assessors, Greta Beach and Natasha Dawes, have helped to develop our employees. When they are in the office the atmophere is great and it's very motivating for our employees to feel that they are achieving qualifications and progressing. They have also kept me informed of progress and have highlighted areas for development across the unit. More employees are about to undertake levels 2 and 3. I have recommended Brockenhurst to other departments within the Borough of Poole as I have been so impressed with the service."

Staff at Southampton City Council Environmental Waste Management & Recycling Department achieved NVQ Level 2 in Customer Care

"As part of the ongoing process of staff personal development it was decided to embark on a programme of vocational training. Brockenhurst College offered an NVQ 2 course in Customer Care. The service provision nature of the work and its high public profile mean the qualification is ideal to ensure customer focus and the meeting of national performance indicators. A number of staff have completed the course and others are joining on a continuous basis. The service is already benefiting from increased levels of staff awareness of the needs and expectations of the customer."
