Certified Client Testimonials

"We have availed of the services of MIDAS to deliver training programmes to a range of our employees. The service provided was to a very high standard and I would have not hesitation in recommending them to others.!"

Tanya Clarke - HR Manager, Wellman Int

"As a person who took the decision to re-enter education as a mature student, I don’t think I could have picked a better course  to attend. I was very apprehensive about taking on the QQI Special Purpose Certificate in Training and Development. From the outset the tutor  made me, and the rest of our group feel at ease. If I had anticipated the level of support from Mari and her team, I would have enrolled for this course a long time ago."

Gerard Smyth - Certificate in Training and Development

"Through the Certificate in Training and Development, I was able to formalize skills and techniques that I already used and learned how to train more effectively. The course was presented in lots of different ways and were very informative which kept the training interesting. There were lots of handouts and documentation provided, the course was tailored to suit and the assessments were very professional. All learners had great support from the Tutor and MIDAS Learning  - I would highly recommend them."

Esme - Lead Trainer, Arc Royal
