Nadine Stanton was the guest speaker at the Law Society, Junior Solicitors event hosted by Weightmans LLP and she talked about managing upwards. An issue that I haven’t actively managed. Nadine took us through an interactive session that enabled us to understand how easy but extremely important it is to be aware of and manage. Thank you Nadine!
Donna Smith was our speaker and she was friendly, organised and knowledgeable on what she was talking to us about, which was Client Care. She managed us using a little bell, which she made fun of and put everyone at ease, but it kept her in control of all the discussions. Whilst the topic for her session was Client Care and it was focused on lawyers, she quickly saw that there were a number of support staff (administrative and IT) and tapered what she had asked to fit people's different lines of work, so that we could fully take part in the discussions. She asked for feedback from each table equally and listened to everyone's points of view and gave useful insights to us that we could consider and take away with us to help us improve our client care services. I would recommend Donna and like to have her speak to us again.
The Team at ETC Tax all enjoyed the Assertiveness Training delivered by Helen from Professional Training. The training was tailored to our suit our business and specific training needs and also linked to previous relevant training and also scheduled training sessions we will have delivered by Professional Training later in the year. We received pre-training material to help motivate and get buy in from the team prior to having the training session with Helen which made for a more engaging and interactive training session.

We ran a two day residential event for new partners with Professional Training. The presenter was very knowledgeable and friendly and the feedback from the delegates on the event as a whole was extremely good.
Nadine spoke at the MJN event on 9 March 2023 and led the interactive side of the talk. Nadine is clearly very experienced and brought an energy to the evening that wouldn't have been present without her. Nadine helped the audience mix and interact as well as providing some humour. Thanks Nadine, I look forward to attending the next event you speak at.
Having attended three of Nadine’s training sessions – I cannot recommend her enough. These sessions have improved my confidence and I have left every talk having learnt something that I could implement in my role as a trainee solicitor (and now as an Associate) and generally in my life! The sessions are fun, interactive and use real life examples that teach you how to deal with difficult situations.
Nadine's training session on delegation was extremely helpful and interactive, focusing on the particular barriers to delegation experienced by the attendees and what can be done to break down those barriers. The session was engaging and clearly tailored. Highly recommend.
I have really enjoyed my sessions with Professional Training UK limited. Nadine has helped build my confidence and given us great advice on how to improve ourselves, both within and outside of our work places. The sessions are very engaging and informative. Thank you!
Nadine is an excellent tutor and lecturer who is conscientious, has great drive and initiative, and is a supportive colleague. I have no hesitation in recommending her in any professional role.
“Nadine and her team offer really practical management experience for the Legal market in the UK. Engages with the participants on her training superbly and draws on a vast amount of knowledge garnered from her time in the profession to deliver wide and diverse topics in the Law.
Well worth touching base with her organisation to help any Law practice evolve effectively in this ever changing environment.”
The sessions led by Nadine that I have attended have come at a perfect time in my career. The sessions have been engaging and importantly thought provoking. Sometimes it is important to attend a training session that will shake up your mindset. I have benefitted from attending a few of the Professional Training sessions and it has really alleviated some of the anxiety of transitioning from Trainee to NQ.
I attended the 'Train the Trainer' course after struggling with public speaking and confidence when facilitating. I can't thank Nadine and her team enough for the support and tips and tricks that I learnt over the course of a week. I learnt so much about facilitation and how to get the most out of each session that i deliver. I have now been able to deliver a number of sessions confidently and excited for future sessions too. Thank you so much PT!
Nadine and her team deliver top quality training on a huge range of soft skills topics for lawyers. Nadine personally delivers a free webinar every 2 months that is fantastic - kept perfectly to the 60 minute mark (#chargeablehours), snappy, interactive and on extremely relevant topics. I would not hesitate to recommend working with Professional Training.
I recently attended a training webinar provided by Nadine and her team, having previously attended a number of training sessions provided by Nadine a few years ago. The session was as informative and engaging as I remember the previous ones being - a good mix of theory and examples from real-life experience, and I came away with some good practical tips that I have already put into practice.
Insightful, knowledgeable and inclusive training. Attended 2 programs so far and can see the difference within myself and team members. Not all training is equal and in my view, the training is top notch!
I have been using Professional Training UK Limited (PT) as my training provider for several years and have brought them with me to my new organisation, Gill Jennings & Every LLP.
PT have delivered a variety of sessions for our Partners to a consistently high standard. Their trainers are always engaging, facilitating participation and interaction. We are delighted to have launched their PLATFORM programme for our senior associates and those recently promoted to Partner.
The first session, Performance, received an average feedback score of 4.7 out of 5, and comments such as:
“Allowed time for self-reflection about what is working and what isn’t”
“It underlined the importance of several concepts, skills, and approaches that tend to be overseen during the day-to-day business”
“I am looking to work better with my team and we discussed various ways to achieve that”
“Useful in making you relate particular examples to general concepts (rather than seeing them as isolated examples that happened without reason). Good information and further reading in the workbook”
The delegates are looking forward to the second session and building relationships with the trainer and each other over the next year. PT will also be running their THRIVE programme for our Associates starting in September. My team have always found PT to provide excellent customer service, responding quickly to queries and offering further information when requested.
Having worked with Nadine, Lucy and the rest of the team at Professional Training for over a year now, I can honestly say they are a pleasure to work with.
Not only is there ease of communication, the quality of the offering is high and they understand the training needed in professional services. The high attendance numbers to sessions says it all.
