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.

"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..." |

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." |

"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.” |

“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.” |

“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.” |
