Working with Oakwood has been a fantastic experience. From the first time we engaged with Oakwood, they have taken time and care to understand our business, the needs of our learners and the challenges they face. The sessions are interactive, tailored, and delivered with the utmost professionalism and passion. So far, over 90 staff have attended these sessions, and 100% have said how informative & inspirational they found the training.

Working with Oakwood training has been an excellent experience from the moment we engaged them through to the actual training sessions being delivered to over 40 of our managers in Barnardo’s Cymru. The session itself was delivered with so much passion and understanding ensuring staff really engaged.
