Feedback from our customers
"I recommend Kate and Tender Training College for anyone starting out in tender writing, needing support to understand 'tender-speak', or how to read between the lines of requirements, evaluate and clarify assumptions and complete tender applications efficiently with a writing style that is not just a hurried copy-and-paste. I feel much more confident to approach, evaluate, analyse and complete tender applications," David Isaacson, business owner
“Kate provided an amazing and informative training. New to the field of procurement, this training and the information delivered exceeded my expectations completely. Kate has developed my basic knowledge of bid writing to a point where I now feel confident in developing my own company template. Kate is a wealth of knowledge, her delivery is clear and concise, meaningful and targeted. I feel extremely lucky to have completed this course with Kate and feel excited to write
my next bid,” Rachel Hall, SGE Helicopters.
"My time with Kate has been invaluable. Kate was able to deliver insights, experiences and knowledge nuggets that I know will improve my ability to deliver maximum rewards across the business. The next few months will be interesting and rewarding in implementing my learnings to 'WIN' more the ultimate result.
I would recommend discussing your training needs with Kate and her team at Tender Training College as she was flexible in her approach and delivered more than expected. Thank you," Davina Padlie, Interactive.
