I highly recommend working with Carolyn Marson at Nova Training.
She has been our account manager for several years and has become an invaluable asset to our business.
Her professionalism and industry knowledge have ensured that we recruit the best possible candidates.

Mick Whale | Midtherm Flue Systems Training & Development Manager
Midtherm has been dealing with Nova Training for a few years now, I personally have been working with Nova since my job role changed at Midtherm in November 2022 to Development and Training Manager.
I have worked closely with both Jason and Leanne over the last year and not only have they become a training company we can rely on, but part of our training team, always available with updates and information when needed. Our apprentices have grown in confidence and knowledge over the period of the courses.
Jason Bithell, has a great personality for training, making our apprentices and our staff very comfortable when he visits the site, he is very approachable and goes above and beyond to get the support we need, I am confident if I need any assistance it's a phone call or email away, the fast reply's give me confidence that we are dealing with people that take great pride in their work.
Jason is very clear at explaining the needs to the trainees and makes sure they have a good understanding of what needs to be completed, giving them suitable praise when they have completed tasks.
Leanne Farney, joined us at Midtherm early in 2023 and fitted straight in, she has a great work ethic and jumps straight into helping the apprentices, she has a very calming manner and explains the needs to the trainees very well, she always has time at the end to update us all with the progress.
Leanne's Apprentice Kyle Powell has just finished this year's EPA with a distinction, just proving the effort Leanne has put in to support the learner.
Matthew Price, joined us to assist with functional skills, with some of our learners, obviously, this can be a trying exercise as most trainees that need this assistance also need someone who takes the time to talk them through and help them understand, Matthew is very good at relaxing the trainees down and settling them into the training ready for their assessments.
