"We have been using Underoak's training information service for a number of years.  As a regular user of Underoak's UK Training Index I would like to say that I find the site an extremely useful source of information and, when needed, the Underoak staff have always been very helpful. The UK Training Index is my first port of call when looking for training courses for our organisation. I have found the information to be very comprehensive and more reliable than from elsewhere."

"Parker Hannifin is the world's leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, employing 48,000 people in 44 countries. I am delighted to recommend the Underoak Course Directory.  Since 2002 it has been the first place I go to in order to find both technical and general courses in all areas of training skills development.   We encourage all of our HR managers to look here when they need to find courses for their staff or when looking for in-house training suppliers.   

We recommend that training suppliers list their training courses on this comprehensive website.

We are also able to get useful management reports showing the courses searched for and training organisations that have been contacted by our staff which could help us to identify key training providers."

"..as an Enquiry Officer for Business Link York and North Yorkshire I have found the Underoak site to be very useful to me when I have been looking for information on training. I particularly like the way the site prompts you for alternative searches when you have typed in a course name.  I use a number of different information sources and databases when looking for this type of information and this is one of the most reliable sources of training information, particularly for open courses, that I have found on the web. It saves me a significant amount of time when I need to find trainers or specific courses..."

"In my time as Training Co-ordinator for Euro/DPC Ltd (a worldwide provider of immunodiagnostic systems with representatives in over 100 countries) I used Underoak's website to find both IT and soft skills courses.  Over the 2 years that I have been using the site, it has improved immensely and I would say that 9/10 times I found what I needed on the Underoak site."

“Since early 2002, I have been a regular user of Underoak's UK Training Index. I would like to say that I find the site a very useful source of information and when needed the Underoak staff are very helpful. The UK Training Index is the first place I look when searching for training courses and saves me an enormous amount of time. I have found the information to be more thorough than from other sources.”

"As a member of a team at QA, one of the leading training organisations in the country, I have been using Underoak's UK Training Index for some time to source courses in specific areas of training and development.  I especially like being able to click through to the trainers websites to find out information on the courses and if I need any assistance I can always ring the team at Underoak.  The Underoak site is the first place I go when looking for forthcoming scheduled courses."

“Just a quick note of thanks regarding the help you have given to BTG, my team and me over the past few months.  I am glad we invested in a subscription.  Both the speed of response and the degree of detail you have been able to supply for each inquiry made has been very helpful.  It has been useful as an HR tool, and it has also created a favourable impression with our colleagues in other parts of BTG.  Rather than responding to people with one or two brochures from the mail, the ability to present a comprehensive analysis of options has helped to enhance both the technical content and the professional image of our efforts.”

Geoff Dobson
Senior Vice President, HR Director

BTG International Ltd.

(2000)

 

 

“Just a short note to express my gratitude for the excellent service that you provide.  I have used Underoak on a number of occasions over the last 12 months to source training providers and courses for very specific needs.  On every occasion I have been impressed by both the speed and quality of the response provided.  It has been extremely useful for me, as a busy training manager, to have a mechanism to quickly identify quality training providers which I am then able to approach to specify a course more precisely.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Underoak to any training professional who finds themselves in the position of having to source a specific course, or type of course and are unsure of where to start.”

Steve Howard

Group Training and Development Manager

GEHE UK PLC

(2000)

 

 

“As you are aware, we have recently subscribed to your UK Public Course Index.

Just wanted to say that we have been very pleased with the service you have given us to date, on the several occasions we have asked for assistance.

The service has always been prompt and helpful.

We look forward to a continuing successful relationship.”

Margaret Deighan

“Underoak provide a prompt and comprehensive way to source a wide variety of training requirements.  This saves time and they always supply a good range of providers.

I have found them quick, efficient and useful.”

Bridget Shattower

“I thought it would be helpful to drop you a line of feedback on how the service you’re providing is being received.

Although I haven’t been able to publicise your service as widely across the Authority as I would like, the feedback I’m getting from officers that have used your service is very positive in terms of the quality of the information and speed of response.

Keep it up and I hope that we’ll get even more officers and mangers using your service directly.”

George Smalling

“I am the HR Manager of Stanton, a manufacturing company within the automotive product sector.  Our company have used Underoak several times over the past couple of years in a search for appropriate management and IT courses.  On each occasion the Underoak team has come up with the goods in terms of an appropriate match at cost effective prices.  Their response has also been quick with a good level of customer care.”

Denis Muirden

HR Manager

Stanton Rubber & Plastics Ltd.

(1999)

 

 

 

“As the largest non-operated Plant Hire company in Europe we need to source professional and reliable training providers across a variety of disciplines.

Underoak’s service in sourcing and recommending training providers is not only unique but also provides an invaluable support function which allows us to cut straight to discussions with potential training partners.  An excellent service!”
