The Tess Group Reviews 

Neil was a great teacher and i really enjoyed learning with him and the way that he held the course was really engaging and i cant wait to do other courses if his teaching.

I’ve just had a session with Jamie Chambers on Problem Solving and Decision Making and it was great, so interesting and a great basis for further learning

Jamie is very engaging from the outset with clear expectations a boundaries. He has good knowledge and understanding of the coaching modules and in spite of a rocky start to the course (not Jamie's fault) I have found the workshops incredibly informative. I have knocked one star off because I find sitting in Zoom meetings very draining, but I totally understand why the course is delivered in this way.

Jamie is wonderful, informative and funny and makes learning fun. He makes sure everyone is comfortable and is very knowledgeable and makes sure you understand before he moves on.

My final tutor was great 5/5.

Nicola Dulson tried to accommodate everything I requested to be able to succeed with this qualification, thank you Nicola ♥ I will miss working with you. I couldn't have gotten a distinction without her.

I will say, it took a month to provide a tutor once my original one resigned. This delayed my work as it was assignment-dependent and if I was any slower I would've finished later than I wanted to due to this. In addition, it took three months for them to enrol me once I started my job role. This meant I was on an apprentice wage, job title etc. for three months longer than necessary due to this process.

Other than what I've mentioned, they are extremely helpful and do develop you, also offering free additional guidance (courses for example) during your apprenticeship. It is worth the development if you are completing through a scheme.

Mark Swales is a huge asset to the Tess Group. His tutoring is second-to-none and his approach is fantastic. He makes tutor sessions fun, interactive and ensures that you fully understand what is required at all times. Mark is extremely attentive, his response time is super-quick, and this is very helpful when you have any questions/queries.
If you have Mark as a tutor, you will go far! Thank you, Mark, for all your help & support throughout my apprenticeship, you have been fantastic and made going back into education very enjoyable!

I recently completed my Level 3 Team Leading course and had the pleasure of having Jason Davies as my skills coach. Jason was extremely helpful in our time together and helped to make sense of how to link the assessment criteria to my job. Jason was available regularly if I needed guidance and offered constructive feedback throughout. Would definitely recommend him!

I really enjoyed the experience and learning with the Tess group.
Unfortunately, I had changed Tutor 3 times that made it hard to adjust to the different teaching styles they had, but all the Tutors where great!

I would recommend the Tess group.

I really appreciated the amazing support I received during my apprenticeship from Mark Swaz! He worked with me to understand how I worked (and worried) to help me get the best out of my apprenticeship and make it work for me. He was amazingly supportive and made such a difference. The apprenticeship created opportunities to learn more about things I thought I already had covered and pushed me to develop myself, my confidence and my abilities. The group who I studied with became such a supportive environment who really understood each other which was a brilliant thanks too. Thanks again for everything Mark!

Couldn’t have completed the course without the first class support from Jason. He simplified everything and really helped to make the course criteria relevant to my job role. Thanks so much for all your help.

I just finished my apprenticeship, Mark Swales has been so helpful. He has helped every step of the way which made the apprenticeship less stressful. Thank you for all of your help!

Mark Swales was a massive help with my apprenticeship training, the help I needed was given and he supported me as much as he could, giving lots of informative details and was very patient with me and understood how I worked/learned and adapted his approach in teaching.

I recently participated in an apprenticeship program from TESS group with an amazing coach Jason Davids, and I can't praise the experience enough. The program gave me practical skills and knowledge in my field, while the coach guided and supported me. The program had a perfect balance of theory and hands-on training. The coach was exceptional, providing mentorship throughout. He had expertise, knowledge, and dedication. Always supported me and gave feedback.

Mark Swales was a massive help with our apprenticeship training, all the help we needed was given and he supported us as much as he could, giving lots of informative details

The Team Leader apprenticeship has been really helpful in my current role in Local Government. The content provided by Andy Woodall was really well delivered, and gave me the knowledge to cover the criteria set. Jason Davies' guidance and support was so helpful and he was always available if I needed to get in contact with him.

I had the privilege of being coached by an Jason Davies individual during my apprenticeship. Their support and guidance were instrumental in my achievement of a distinction.

From the outset, Jason demonstrated a full understanding of my learning style and tailored his coaching methods to suit my needs.

Jason consistently provided constructive feedback that helped me improve my skills and grow as a professional.

Jason's positive attitude and belief in my abilities boosted my confidence and motivated me to strive for more.

I am grateful for Jason's guidance and support and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive skills coach.

The slides were very good, trainer Neil Richards was fantastic. Session was very interactive as well as eye opening.

Neil Richards was absolutely brilliant with the team. He was clear and concise with explaining the course. He made it enjoyable.

Informations are clear and easy to understand. Trainer is supportive. Throughout the course, I gained good knowledge about CSAS and RSAS.

Trainer Neil Richard’s was absolutely amazing, he explained the course so well & patiently. I felt very comfortable and he helped me understand everything.
Neil made the classes fun and made me really enjoy group activities. Such a great guy & he deserves a pay rise for his passion for the course!
