    Customer Appraisals
    Cheers Charles Ellis. Cs Ellis Group Ltd Jun 2010 - Jan 2014
    Customer Appraisals;We decided to do our CPC training in house, and Kevin was a great support through his knowledge of JAUPT in helping us set up as a training centre and to get our courses officially registered. In terms of training we have had nothing but positive comments about Kevin from our drivers. Common feedback included 'he showed he had great experience about the industry', and he 'made it interesting'. The highest compliment is that even some of our experienced drivers who did not think they had anything to learn from CPC did feel they benefited from Kevin's courses.; Warehousing & Distribution, South Luffenham, Rutland. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Viamaster Training have worked with Kevin Barker for a number of years. In 2009 Viamaster Training was contracted to deliver NVQ’s in Logistics and Driver CPC. Kevin was contracted by the Lead Provider as Internal Verifier responsible for ensuring our delivery standards met the Lead Provider and SQA awarding body requirements.Kevin has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Logistics Industry gained during a lifetime of roles. I have always found his knowledge and advice about logistics training delivery and standards to be first rate. The NVQ programme ended in 2012, and Kevin moved on into another Logistics role. However we have remained in contact with him and continue to seek his advice on logistics matters.I have no hesitation in recommending his servicesAndy WoodOperations Director Viamaster Training
