Testimonials

“Recently had a Bid writing course with Charles, have to say it was brilliant. I went in knowing the bare minimum and he really helped clear up a lot for me and I feel a lot more confident in my abilities to write Bids. Would recommend!”

Sam Ayling – Liquid Friday

“I've come away from this course feeling confident and full of new ideas and knowledge. It was very interactive and insightful. Charles was just brilliant and explained things clearly and made sure we understood before moving onto the next step. I really recommend this course to anyone who wants to brush up on their bid writing.”

Charlotte Wright – FP Mailing

“Excellent course, gave me a lot of things to be thinking about whilst writing tenders/bids etc. I went into the course a bit unsure on what to expect but Charles ran the course and was happy to assist with any questions etc. anyone had. Great course and I've learned a lot that will help me going forward in bid writing.”
