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.

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.
