"I have had the opportunity to work with MSD Independent for a few years now, sourcing distance learning courses to assist my staff team improve their knowledge, and maintain their CPD hours. Prior to Covid restrictions, Mark would make the journey to hold face to face meetings with learners, which helped if they were a little anxious, as his kind nature put them at ease. During the last year Mark has supported us virtually, assisting the team to develop their knowledge throughout this difficult time. I have always found Mark very supportive and maintains regular contact with me on progress/concerns or just to keep me up to date with any new developments for training/funding. Highly recommend MSD Independent to assist with your training needs."
