• "My training with Gerri Ross was an exceptional experience.  She made what could have been a very complicated minefield of the SQA process very easy. We also used company specific standards and processes and aligned them with the SQA 9 DI which made training fun and immediately applicable in the work place. My post training experience was stellar! Gerri was available day and sometimes night to make sure I had all the information uploaded and sent off to the external Verifier in good time.  She was an effective coach; asking for status, progress, reviewing documentation and everything else in between.  When I finally received my certificate I knew that this process had been significantly enhanced by Gerri being involved as my trainer and coach."

  • "In her capacity as a competence specialist, Gerri has for several years now been instrumental in training our tutors as assessors and verifiers(IQAs), to ensure our OPITO CMS requirements are consistently met.  We have a workforce of approximately 30 technical trainers which over time have had to be externally trained.  Gerri has great subject knowledge and excellent people skills which is a bonus in the multicultural environment we operate here in Nigeria.  I would not hesitate to recommend Gerri Ross and Associates Limited for your CMS training requirements."

  • "Working to achieve the highest level within my Learning and Development career path, I found Gerri Ross and Associates to be a very professional and driven choice to deliver the relevant material and courses I required.

    I have so far completed my L 9DI, D11 and I have just registered with Gerri to complete my Level 4 NVQ in Learning & Development.

    I can seriously state that through Gerri's commitment and encouragement to her candidates, it has made my development journey achievable in a way that suits my very hectic work/life schedule, for which there are no words, thank you Gerri."

I have no doubt that the skills developed as part of this process will prove to be invaluable to me in my professional development. I would not hesitate to recommend Gerri to anyone seeking training or consultancy in workplace competency assessment and I hope to have further opportunity to benefit from Gerri’s knowledge, excellent training and invaluable support again in the future as I continue to develop my workplace competency assessment skills."

  • "I have been working alongside Gerri now for the past 2 years!

    She has helped me immensely with gaining qualifications that I thought were out of my reach! I have completed a SVQ4 in management and am on the verge of completing my Level 5!

    It would not have been possible without the help of Gerri!  She is always there to help out with planning modules and always accommodating when work schedules may mean I have to cancel at the last minute!

    As for the NVQ`s they are great way for enhancing your career!  They are flexible and everything you need is at your fingertips as the evidence and learnings are based on your role at work!

    They have helped me from moving onto a Supervision role into a Higher Management position.  I would have not been able to be promoted without this qualification!  My company have also told me once I have finished my Level 5 that I will have the correct skill and qualification base to move on into Senior Management.

    All the above would not have possible without the valuable time, patience and assistance of Gerri!

    For anybody wanting career advancement I would not hesitate to recommend Gerri`s services!"

  • "I have known Ms. Geraldine Ross for almost 7 years she has been involved in training of our new Trainers of our training centre in assessing and verification to make them competent Assessors (A1, L9DI) / Verifiers (V1).

    Ms. Geraldine Ross conducted the training / induction in a very pedagogical and professional way. She got good contact with all the participants and ran the course using a smart mixture of presentations, relevant examples and assignments.

    Ms. Geraldine Ross was very considerate in combining the participants into small groups to get synergy and more learning out of that. The courses she conducted here in Lagos have so far been very successful and she took special care and responsibility by regular follow ups and provided necessary supports to prepare the participants for the certifications that followed the course.

    The feedbacks from the participants were very positive and all are satisfied. I can gladly recommend Gerri Ross and Associates Limited to any other company, worth for their nominal fees.

    On a personal level I completed my management level 4 qualification with Geraldine and found the whole experience of professional discussion an interesting, and quite painless concept!!"

  • "I have known Geraldine for over 10 years in her capacity as a competence specialist and am more than happy to recommend her to anyone looking for CM guidance or simply to train his or her assessor and verifiers.  I have contracted Geraldine several times while working in Kazakhstan and Bangladesh to carry out health checks on our CMS systems, and to deliver assessor and verifier training as we aspired to achieve OPITO accreditation. Each workscope has always been approached with professionalism and confidence by Geraldine and has certainly helped us achieve our CMS targets.  Geraldine strengths include assessing management and we took advantage of this during her trips to our site in Bangladesh.  If you are looking for competence support, I would not hesitate to recommend Gerri Ross and Associates Limited."
