I’ve used Envesca for a few different courses for my team over recent years and have always found them to be very helpful and accommodating in making these arrangements. Most recently, I booked two trainers to deliver the Highfield Level 2 Healthy Food and Special Diets training to over 30 staff in two groups on the same day and both groups of delegates came away buzzing about what they had learned and how we could apply it at work or in their own lives.
Steve Brown | Catering Manager | Monkton Combe School
The course was very informative, I certainly have a better understanding of nutrition now. I enjoyed the sections on portion control and choosing the right groups of food to eat. I would definitely recommend this course to others as it provides very useful information for aspects of life. Mel was a very good trainer.
