"A perfect mid-week break in a quite stunning location." Ben April 2012
"...when this was arranged with our group of friends there was a sense of anxiety as my exercise routine is 'nil'. My fitness level is appalling and, this, along with an asthma condition did cause me concern! Instead of feeling disheartened and embarrassed I was given enthusiasm, support, encouragement and positive feedback without any pressure attached. The activities were co-ordinated impeccably to take all levels of abilities into consideration, so everyone was able to reach their full potential. On reflection, I can honestly say the satisfaction and achievement of participating in the boot camp has made me more motivated and determined to take my health and exercise more seriously. For the first time in my life I want to exercise and it does not feel like a chore. Thank you guys - everything was fantastic, you tick all the boxes!" Gail, Sleights N Yorks 2011
"Having asked Nero Training to facilitate and undertake some of our middle management development training. I would highly recommend Nero Training Ltd to others. Nero facilitators have that innate ability to create a rapport and get excellent team interaction right from the beginning. Their training programmes are interesting, informative, well presented and relevant." Ampleforth College
"Thanks for a fabulous couple of days, despite reservations from a few before the activities everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and importantly the organisation gained a great deal from the event. My executive team were buzzing when we got back and are still talking about it three weeks later! There is an obvious camaraderie within the HQ since our time with Nero." DHFS Shropshire - March 2012
"..children and staff embarked on a week long residential course in culmination to their NCFE Entry to the Uniform Services Course. Staying at the excellently equipped Lakeside House Ampleforth, Ronnie and Neil provided us with a bespoke course including canoeing, team building, mountain biking, foot drill and a Station visit to RAF Fylingdales. The levels of accommodation and instruction were second to none. All the boys achieved their aims for the week and much more in the way of life skills." Mr Goacher, Sincil Sports College, Lincoln April 2012
"I would like to thank you for giving the more able pupils from Bedale High School the opportunity to take part in leadership training. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the day gaining a much improved understanding of leadership and effective team work; all pupils were highly motivated and interested throughout." Bedale High School
"My team took an excellent opportunity to benefit from a professional leadership and team building session at Nero Training at Ampleforth.The day focused the lads on all the core qualities needed for a game of rugby. Sessions focused on leadership, commitment, stamina, team work and recognising the strengths of those around them. Taking the team away for a day allowed different tactics from the usual training sessions we have. As a coach it was great to get the team to recognise stressful situations, not give in and work as a team to achieve the goal. They all proved to themselves what they are truly capable of. The end of the day saw a group of extremely tired lads, who had each contributed 100%, and who I hope will take forward their experiences into our future matches and beyond the pitch. I would like to thank Neil and Ronnie for helping explore the leadership qualities in the group, for organising some great activities and for invoking some excellent group discussions. For other sports teams that are thinking about where to take your training next, this was a perfect way to bring out all the qualities and attributes within your squad." WRUFC - November 2011
"We have worked closely with Nero Training since its conception. Specifically in the development of ILM (Institute of Leadership and Management) accredited team building and leadership programmes for the Military. I have been impressed by their innovative, non-stuffy, approach to accredited programmes. The courses developed have evolved into highly participative and challenging events. They encourage delegates to think outside the box and look critically at the way they work. Abbeydale Training Ltd Sheffield
This is an excellent, interactive course. It was a hands on, practical course with just enough advice to try out first aid ourselves. There was plenty of opportunities to ask questions too! Friendly staff, well resourced, overall - great value for money. St John University York May 2012
The course was fantastic! I was a little apprehensive at first but as soon as it began I was fully engaged and enjoying it! The use of repetition of practical work helped me to learn the first aid procedures and further my understanding. Recommended for all! St John University York May 2012
