Testimonial:
"The customer service NVQ has been very positive for me. Julie Lawn knows that I never finish what I start.
There has been some hurdles that I have had to jump - even at the starting block, but it was great to get on the wavelength of the course. I have now finished across the line, ‘my line’ and the ‘Axa red Line’
I am very much interested in another NVQ level for the future.
Its all down to Julie and a few members of my workmates in the department, in giving me confidence and letting me know more about my role at AXA."
