involved is pulling in the same direction which is having a dramatic impact on the

business."

more on my role as senior supervisor at Unipres. The skills I have developed so far haveenabled me to become a more confident and knowledgeable person. Alchemist

Consultants is an excellent business which offers valuable training as the tutor who

delivers the courses has vast industry specific knowledge and experience" 

"The programme so far has been interesting for me because it is not your ‘stereotypical’ course that ticks boxes and then once finished for the day, you forget what you have learned. This is the first course I have been on that

whereby the content of the course is malleable enough to suit my own work demands, objectives and aspirations; and consequentially the companiesobjectives. It is a course that enables you as opposed to dictating you. It also

gives insight into various skills that are imperative to management and team

development." 

"The level 5 operations manager programme led by Michael and Alchemist has been an engaging, thought-provoking and insightful experience so far. The course provides vast information, techniques and transferrable skills to be implemented into the day to day tasks of that come with a career management role helping you to not only get the best out of  yourself, but also of those in your team. 

The monthly workshops are always enjoyable and conveniently fit around work commitments and the Alchemist team is always available to help individuals out at any stage of the programme"

"My time studying for the Level 5 Management course with Alchemist has been very positive. The monthly workshops, comprising of a round-table with colleagues from Bibby Marine and Michael Bainbridge, have been very engaging and productive. Within the workshops, you are introduced to a plethora of ideas and methods within the chosen module. Each has been summarised to a good detail, where most of the understanding of it is encouraged through on-the-job learning, discussion and further research.

The Level 5 qualification pushes you to step outside of your comfort zone withregards to CPD, as well as promoting self-reflection. I have found that a lot ofthe on-the-job learning goes hand in hand with what I’ve been asked to do in my role."
