This was by far the best support I have received – SDN were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Although there is a great deal to get my head around, SDN made it all seem achievable.
Sarah Rice

SDN are a team of high calibre professionals. I can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone needing help to unravel the intricacies of apprenticeships.

A very good workshop, good pace of delivery and inclusive

Tarmac

A very informative webinar. It was good to bring in different spokespeople who had the experience and advice, and even a reality check on the hurdles and obstacles. Definitely feel more informed than before joining.

Very informative session. Thank you. Best session on T-levels that I have attended.

Tarmac

It was a really valuable session and I would recommend it to other employers.
