It was a real pleasure to work with the team at the Grimsby Institute and 6th Form College.
I remember returning for the second year and learners from the first year coming up to me in the coffee queue from time to time wanting to pay for my coffee because they had been promoted to management due to the information they learnt on the courses I delivered for them - I even got cake
There was always a positive vibe about the place and the dedication the team of staff had towards their students was second to none.
The issue I have found in many places on my travels is that people are promoted to management because they are good at their work and then left to it. They’re not given the tools to do the job and then blamed for when it goes wrong – which is why an aspiring management program and support from their senior management is key to their success, like they do at the Grimsby Institute.
If you’d like any information about our aspiring managers program, please don’t hesitate to get in touch

She has said the program has made such a difference and has had `outstanding` (her words) feedback for Adrian’s delivery.
Well done AC – job very well done 😊

Business Development and Marketing - Course reviews
After the last meeting with Adrian I've instructed my accountant to do the book keeping for me and also instructed a VA to answer our calls when me and my business partner are busy. I've also started getting to work early to do my 90 minutes!!! So a big thanks for helping me to change the way I work and hopefully we'll stay in touch in some way - Cheers, Gary Photo art GB
Really sorry to hear we're losing you but I guess setting up your own company will be very exciting! I've enjoyed all the meetings you've run very much; they’ve been very professional and informative. I really appreciated your help and advice on developing my business. Kate - Stenson Office

Delegation Skills Training - Course Review
"I'm taking away the confidence to be able to delegate once I am in a managerial role. The ability to speak up and be confident in my skills and knowledge as well as tips for an effective team. I've also learnt about managing workload; work life balance and to leave the ego at the door"!
"Please come to our US office! This course will benefit my team in more ways than I could imagine"!

Management Skills Training Course Review - Very good session
"A very thought-provoking session given by Adrian. A large amount of takeaways and some interesting anecdotes to help back up the theory. Would have liked to explore the managing vs coaching theme in a deeper way probably because I am a Man Utd fan. Some good interactive elements. Most important thing is that we use these takeaways regularly".

Customer Service Skills
"Booked a Customer Service course and received excellent service from start to finish. The initial booking and organising our requirements for the course were very smooth and all communication was excellent.
We had grumbles from our staff initially when they were asked to attend, in their opinion they didn't need to be taught how to do their jobs. That wasn't the intention and half way through the course they could not praise the trainer Adrian high enough. The course content was presented in such an engaging way, they all felt they had picked up skills they can use during the course of their work day".
A little team building to start with

Level 2 Food Hygiene Course
The level 2 food hygiene course I have just sat was surprisingly fun! Adrian Close was the tutor and delivered the course in a very casual and relaxing manner. Adrian made sure all the delegates participated and tested our knowledge as the day went on. Who knew there was drawing in food hygiene courses?? Adrian certainly made, what could have been boring, NOT! – J Clark (Co-Operative)
Adrian delivered the level 2 food hygiene course at our hotel. I really enjoyed the course as it was very interactive and educational. The teaching and delivery of the course was excellent, I would definitely recommend Adrian as a Food hygiene trainer. Now looking forward to sitting his First Aid course. Conrad (Principal Hayley Hotels, Solihull)
We had a very interesting level 2 food hygiene course today. All the relevant information was explained in a clear and very precise manner. I thought the course was excellent and would thoroughly recommend Adrian Close to train your staff and managers – A Briggs (Co-Operative)
