Testimonials

Full Circle Care (Ashlea House) is a residential care home for young males who have high support needs, including problems with sexually harmful behaviour.
As a new organisation we looked to Aquila Alternatives to provide a significant range of training that related specifically to the residential sector and we were not disappointed, evaluation comments were;

• Teaching methods very varied and interesting
• The courses exceeded all my expectations
• The trainer was knowledgeable and very approachable
• The courses provided me with an opportunity for personal growth and learning as well as promoting a team approach.

Julie Henniker, Director 

"Orange Grove have used Aquila Alternatives for the last 3 years and the feedback from our foster carers and staff has been excellent.  They have proved to be a professional, reliable and friendly company, so much so we are using them again this year!  All the trainers have ‘real’ experience in the areas that they train so they are credible and believable.  They are so flexible that they will adapt any of their training modules to fit the needs of the training group. They make their training interesting, current and fun which means that our foster carers and staff keep coming back for more." 
Tony Meyers,  Director of Operations Fostercare

"The Continuum Group is proud of the quality of the training that it delivers. Most of our training is developed and delivered internally but when using external providers the same exacting standards are applied.  Aquila Alternatives is one of the few external providers that are used on a regular basis. They deliver the training using experiential practice references which resonates with the care staff.  The feedback and assessments provided by the attendees on their return is that the training is of a high standard and the content is excellent. Continuum will continue to use Aquila AlternatIves as their training is always in the context of the current social care agenda".
Liz Jones, Head of Training & Development

"As training coordinator for Turnaround I had done a lot of research before finding Aquila Alternatives. The majority of training providers we have used in the past deliver very generic training and I wanted focussed bespoke training that would help us deal with the everyday issues we face. We gained a great deal from the courses. Their training was excellent and thought provoking, challenging, energising and inspiring. I would highly recommend their training to other in the sector."
