What do our customers say?

Kier has been using Pearson TQ as our preferred training provider for Plant and Construction training since 2016. They are a very professional training provider who always deliver the most relevant and up to date training. Their very knowledgeable, polite and professional trainers can build a rapport with both the office team, providing sound advice, as well as forming relationships with our site operatives. PTQ’s ability is to deliver the training in the classroom and then go out on to site to carry out on-the-spot assessments of the training the operatives have received. This gives the opportunity for the operatives to ask the trainers questions and clarify any uncertainties that they may have to further build on their training and demonstrate competence. Despite Keir’s demanding training requirements, PTQ have always managed to meet our training needs and go over and above in order to do this for us. Without question from their attitude, professionalism and eagerness to perform, I would highly recommend PTQ as a training provider.
