EMA Training Ltd (Derby)

I want to pass on my most sincere thanks to all the hard work from the wonderful team at EMA Training.They went above and beyond what was expected and I would like to give a special thank you to Matt, Graeme and Jess.I would recommend this training provider to anyone who wants to kickstart a first time career but also to those who are looking for a change, They are Brilliant.

EMA training has done an amazing job at helping me find a IT tech support apprenticeship, I thank the whole EMA team including Matt Edwards, Abbygail Maddison, James Stafford and many other members of the team for their professionalism, great communication and their organization. I very highly recommend EMA training as a training provider.

We chose to go through EMA to find a digital marketing apprentice for Reformed IT. I dealt with James Stafford who provides exceptional service. He was always in communication with me and we quickly found our ideal candidate (Josh) to join the team.Josh's apprenticeship was during the difficult time of pandemic lockdowns but EMA were brilliant at innovating and keeping the training going remotely when it wasn't possible to be in the classroom.As soon as they could get people back into the training centre safely, they did.I've since recommended EMA to several businesses and whenever someone asks me to recommend a training provider in the Midlands, EMA is my first choice.Thanks for all your efforts.

EMA Training have given me an amazing experience in my apprenticeship so far and helping me find whats right for me even though it was difficult for me. I always have great and informative lessons and definatly would recomend the marketing apprenticeships (im on the Content Creator Level 3 Apprenticeship).

For the past three Fridays, I have had work experience at EMA Training.I have edited documents, such as posters and leaflets by adding images, editing texts and removing texts.I have attended meetings where we discussed how we will be holding the anniversary celebration.I have copied timetables off from a board onto Microsoft Excel.I have learnt about “referring a friend”, which is spreading the word of EMA Training.I have created a software development apprenticeship poster.I had to use only EMA brand colours and fonts.I learnt creative skill in text size; arrangement of text boxes and images.I have learnt that to market, we need to make the content eye-catching to the target audience, the apprentices and the employees.I came up with the phrase “desire to work in IT” rather than “interested in IT.”I learned that the colour scheme must suit audience members with sight impairment, such as white text with a yellow background is better than white text with a green background.

Fantastic place to take exams as an external candidate. It is very simple to book the exam. Exams are available very regularly (much more than other local centres).The smiley lady during the day exams is so lovely and puts you so at ease. The man who does the evening (and was there one day) is great, and the younger man. As I write this, I realise everyone I interacted with was just fantastic, and I just wish I found out their names to recognise them properly. Thank you for making a stressful time much easier.

I hate this place.They come to my college to promote themselves, gave me a rubbish work experience, welcomed me into an apprenticeship and when results day, they do not accept me because of my GCSE grades, even though I have equivalent from where they visited: Derby College.I am sure that I sent them my CV, so they should think before offering me an apprenticeship.They may have been trying to be nice, but after that, this warm welcoming got washed away by the self-contradictory truth.Why did I choose Derby College?

Very good place to sit an exam, nice invigilators, great environment, will definitely be booking again

I would like to say a big thank you to the EMA Staff for their support, guidance and care during my AAT apprenticeship with them. I managed to pass all my exams first time thanks to the great teachers and resource materials provided. It has been a great experience studying under them and I would highly recommend for an accounting apprenticeship.
