Testimonials
I have been associated with CPO for over 7 years now; they have always provided me with an excellent service in providing me with certificates for Training For Care where I am the Managing Director. I provide training for care homes in the locality and out of area. Sometimes this means getting the certificates provided quickly for customers. There have been a number of occasions when this has meant CPO sending my certificates by courier so that I have them within 24 hours for an urgent customer. The customer care is always excellent and Paul has the motto of all his predecessors at CPO “Nothing’s too much trouble.” They're a pleasure to work with and I hope that my link with them will be for many more years to come. Keep up the good work.

I have recently attended CPO Media as work experience in the hope of gaining an Apprenticeship here, and I have enjoyed my time whilst doing work experience here. From the first moment that I walked through the door, I felt very welcome and it made me feel at ease, as on my first day I was feeling nervous but the welcoming atmosphere that I walked into made me feel better within the first five minutes of being here. During my week at CPO Media, I felt that I got on easily with the staff and with the jobs that I was given to do and that if I had any questions, I didn’t feel awkward to ask as I knew that they would help me wherever possible. I would definitely recommend CPO Media to anyone wanting to do work experience or volunteering with a company.

My time at CPO has been amazing. From the moment of walking in on the first day I felt welcome. I haven’t struggled because everyone in the office have always been there to help whenever I need. If I had the chance to ever go back. I’d happily jump for the chance.

CPO Media provided excellent support when I was on the Universal Job Match Course. They helped me understand what I need to do on Universal Job Match. They also helped me upload my CV so any employers can view it. They said I am welcome to return for anything I need help with. They provide excellent service.

I found all the Staff at CPO Media very friendly, they are all keen to help you with whatever you need help with. They do this in groups and if you need one to one help, they do this too. They are always there if I need any help with anything after the course. I would recommend CPO to anyone that asks if their is a good place to go for Basic IT Skills, Confidence Building, Interview Skills, Job Search, CV Building and Maths and English courses.
