business
people:
‘Michael’s open, straightforward style gave
students confidence and comfort to tackle
more complex challenges. In a busy work

delegates could cover.
Michael Schmidt was given a high score

useful, of high value and helped to get the

7. ‘Delegates’ comments in response to sessions by Michael
Schmidt have highlighted his approachability and
relevance being helpful and pragmatic.
Our delegates are experienced company employees many
of whom left school a long time ago with few qualifications.
Michael successfully overcame their trepidation at
studying and provided the tools and techniques to fit up to
10 hours of academic study into their already busy lives.
He has been universally praised and I would add my
commendation to his suitability in providing learner
support.’
