I would certainly recommend April - both the people and the product." <br> <b><i>- Pat O'Kane, Training Officer, Halifax plc</i></b><i></i> <br> <br> "I leant a lot from actually interacting with financial ideas and reacting to the changing circumstances in this simulation. Hunkering down and getting my fingers dirty with the challenge as part of a team was especially memorable. I personally will be pushing for more of such courses to be offered to future graduates." <br> <b><i>- Student</i></b><i></i> <br> <br> "<i>Retailer&nbsp;</i> is a highly informative and participative business simulation programme which has been tailored very successfully for Wickes to help managers identify key decisions, information and communication required to run the business effectively. Managers who have attended the one day workshop have thoroughly enjoyed the day and have returned to the workplace not only with an increased commercial awareness but a better understanding of how a business operates." <br> <b><i>- Maggie Rose, Management Development Advisor, Wickes Building Supplies Ltd</i></b><i></i> <br> <br> "The simulation was everything we expected: very hectic, frustrating, exhilarating and very good fun." <br> <b><i>- Student</i></b><i></i> <br> <br> "<i>Executive&nbsp;</i> is very sophisticated but also user-friendly and robust. Its versatility means we can use it in many ways. The software and documentation are excellent. This is experiential learning of the highest order." <br> <b><i>- Stuart Sanderson, MBA Director, Bradford School of Management</i></b><i></i> <br> <br> "The business simulation was superb. This brought together all learning in a practical but challenging way." <br> <b><i>- Student</i></b><i></i> <br> <br> "We found <i>Executive&nbsp;</i> to be a super way of 'unfreezing' individuals from their previous constraints and perceptions. They learned to solve unfamiliar problems; work together as a team; recognise the interdependencies of the business; work with computers; and emerge with feelings of success, pride and self-respect." <br> <b><i>- David Mabbs, Training Manager, H J Heinz Co </i></b><i></i> <br> <br> <br> </td> <td width="30"> &nbsp; </td> <td class="sidebar"><p align="left"> <b>Some of our clients:</b> <br> <br> <a class="normal" href="clients.html"><img alt="Some of our clients" src="../imgs/company_logos.jpg" width="165" height="378"></a> </p></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> <table> <tbody><tr> <td class="testimonials"> <img alt="Celebrating 25 years of April Training" src="../imgs/celebrating_25_years.jpg"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <br> <ul> <li><a class="footer" href="../press/press.html">Press</a></li> <li> <a class="footer" href="../map/map.html">Site map</a></li> <li> <a class="blogfooter" href="http://www.trainingsimulations.co.uk">Blog</a></li> </ul> <table> <tbody><tr> <td class="footertext"> <br> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; April House | Tarvin Road Frodsham Cheshire WA6 6XN UK | Telephone: +44 (0)1928 735868 | Fax: +44 (0)1928 735352 <br> <a class="contact" href="../index.html">www.trainingsimulations.com</a> | <a class="contact" href="mailto:info@trainingsimulations.com">mailto:info@trainingsimulations.com</a> <br> Copyright © April Training Executive Ltd 2012 <br> <br> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> </body> </html>
