Customer feedback

“We gained a deeper understanding of governance issues that have been plaguing our organisation for many years. Big Tick. Savita really knew her stuff and fully understood the challenges that face our organisation. Very satisfied.” (Governance consultancy)

“The action learning sets were the most useful part of the course for me. I now have the confidence to think about strategy as well as operational management.” (Leading Change)

Customer feedback

“I was impressed by the online training! I’m a complete beginner in bid writing, but this reinforced my decision to expand my role to include fundraising. It was useful to consider how a funder thinks, and how they want to receive information. I can’t think of any real improvements that the course needs.” (Basic Bid Writing)
