“RGG Associates gave me the support and structure I needed to complete my Level 6 alongside a very busy job. The training felt professional, practical and genuinely rooted in the realities of careers work. Claire and the team really know the sector, and that came through in every session.”
“I would highly recommend RGG Associates to anyone working in careers education or guidance. The course was well delivered, the support was consistent, and I always felt I was learning from people who truly understood the profession.
