Great materials! Enjoyed the different mediums [clips,text,etc] and enjoyed activities which got us to think outside the box. Training was spot on.

NRA have customised the Certificate IIII in Retail to our business needs which works for our participants. The high quality of trainers and the support they provide to our students is above and beyond. Suzi not only is a fabulous trainer, she exceeds expectations with Employment Plus and the participants. We look forward to developing the collaboration we have with NRA.

The Salvation Army Employment Plus

As a team we are a lot happier and all my volunteers now work great together. They are a lot more proud of the store and of their duties. I no longer have to ask for tasks to be done as they all work together and find what needs to be done or tidied. We are also on 6 months in a row of making budget which never happened before.
