I have worked with a wide range of organisations below are a very brief selection of the testimonials I have received:
"We asked Matt to come along to deliver group training on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups. In the past, we had used on-line training services but felt that this method left a lot of questions unanswered for us. Matt's training was excellent in its delivery, content and the knowledge that he has in this delicate and sometimes difficult subject left us with no unanswered questions"
Jo Murphy - Practice Manager & Director, Kiln Lane Dental Limited
"Matt was very professional, and not only flexible but really helpful with his own ideas for us to run the course off site. The course content was informative and very useful to us all. Matt's teaching methods meant that we were kept interested at all times. We will definitely look to use Matt for our further training requirements in the future"
Laura Bailey - Accounts & HR Manager, Diagnostic Healthcare Ltd
"Matt has great communication skills and was always happy to help; he has a very friendly approachable manner. Matt was very engaging has huge subject knowledge and an excellent approach to delivery. He was able to make the learners feel more confident"
Kirsty Birchall - Learning and Development Administration Officer, Autism Initiatives
"The training delivered was excellent, we were dealing with sensitive issues which you made relevant to our practice and delivered in a way that was comfortable. We have found on courses in the past that some of our staff do not ask questions, however with you all staff were fully engaged and I feel the feedback questionnaires completed for you reflected that in their scores of 'Excellent' and 'Outstanding'. Thank you again – and we will definitely be booking you again in the future."
Stacey Morris - Practice Manager, Allsopp & Associates Dental Practice, Walsall
"I recently hired Matt to provide some practical Safeguarding training for our senior management team and I have been extremely impressed by both his training skills and his subject knowledge. Matt's great strength is his ability to make a potentially daunting issue seem manageable and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any other company who is looking to equip their managers with practical tools for dealing with Safeguarding issues."

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt Joyce of Matt Joyce Learning and Development. The brief was to produce a series of films for Matt - an intro. for his website, a profile film for Linked In and a detailed on-line training programme for his specialised area which is Safeguarding or the Protection of Vulnerable Adults. I was already aware that Matt had excellent presentation skills because I had seen him deliver a session on Detecting Deception. In an earlier life I was a manager in a Social Services Department and I had been responsible for delivering training on Safeguarding so it was really interesting to see how Matt delivered his programme. Through our work together I was impressed with the value base he presented, the content and delivery of the material and his professional approach. As expected his presentation skills were very evident throughout and the end result was a high quality and very usable internet based training package. Approximately 30 minutes of clear, detailed and appropriate advice for staff based in any agency which needs to deliver Safeguarding training to its employees from social care providers to GP's, Dentists, Uniformed organisations....... Highly recommended."
