Vilive Batikora (Ex-Army now Copper Jointer at CASS)

" I was at CTTS in Sept 10, and you sorted out a work placement for me in Newcastle at the O2 switch which I started in Jan 11. I have been employed there ever since through an agency. I have just been taken on permanently as the Northern Telecoms Engineer for Telefonica and also deputise for the Clerk of Works at the Newcastle switch. None of this would have been possible without the qualifications that I gained at CTTS and the aftercare and support from yourself in finding me the placement. "

Mark Little (Ex-Army now Northern Telecoms Engineer)

" I just wanted you to know I got that job what I was after at the company above. I'm their first ever female engineer.

Thank you again for getting me in at prestige communications, if I didn't have that experience my first interview wouldn't of gone as good has it did. "

Katrina Cullern (Ex-Army now Stanley Security Solutions)

" After living in Germany for many years I finally moved back to UK with my family in February 2012. I worked in a warehouse for Warwickshire County Council until October when I made one of the most important decisions I have had to make and I left my job in Warwickshire to start out on a new career path. Although I had no previous experience in telecommunications I arranged to attend a 5 week course at CTTS in Lincoln. The course proved to be an excellent decision and I emerged at the end of it with a wealth of knowledge and experience. So much so that I took up a position with a local telecommunications company only a week after finishing the course. The skills I learnt at CTTS are up to date, relevant and enabled me to hit the ground running. I would recommend training with CTTS to anyone interested in telecommunications. "

John Dean (Copper Jointer)

" I know you have the course feedback forms, but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course and how much I have benefited from it, prior to the course I had no experience in the industry at all, and was very nervous about leaving the Navy but after doing your 5 week course, I am not only confident in my new learned skills, but very excited about my future in the industry. I will certainly be recommending the course to colleagues in the forces and civilians. "

Joe Rastall (Ex-Navy now Virgin Media Installation Tech)

" Just thought I would drop you an email and inform you that I got the job with openreach and start with the next 2 weeks. So would just like to thank you and the team at ctts for helping me achieve the correct Qualifications and training and the long term support. "

Brett Wilson (Ex-Army now BT Openreach)

" Just a quick email to let you know i was succesful in getting the BT openreach job and to say a big thanks to all you at CTTS for providing me with the knowledge and support to move into a new career. The email you sent with advice was spot on and a great help. Thanks again and I will no doubt be up at CTTS again during my career to make use of the excellent training. "

Joel Regan (Ex-Royal Marines noe BT Openreach)

" Just a quick email to let you know that i was successful in both my application and interview with BT Openreach and I am starting my training course with Openreach and then moving into full employment with them. I would also like to thank you and all of your team within CTTS for all the training, it was thoroughly enjoyed. "

Nik Sharman (Ex-Army now BT Openreach)

" Would you pass on my many thanks to all the staff within ctts, I have just been offered a position within a company working out of London as a installer all over the UK. "

" Just a quick update on my employment situation. I had an interview with BT Openreach back in August and was successful, I'm now waiting to start their training package at the end of the month and on completion of that straight into employment with them. I highly doubt this would of been possible without my attendance of a ctts course and the instruction I received. "

Mark Andre (Ex-Army now BT Openreach)

Leonard Bosman (Ex-Army now Fujitsu)

" I would like to thank you for your constant updates and job searches. I have been successful at my interview with Openreach and start in October. The CTTS training had a good part to play in getting me qualified for the position including your advice with the CV writing. I do hope to stay in touch as you never know what the future holds.. "

Glen Marshall (Ex-Army now BT Openreach)

Lee O�Dwyer (Ex-Army now BT Openreach)

" I would just like to say thank you for all the help and support you and your team have given me upon leaving the Army and also for the training and qualifications I gained on your course.
