What Our Clients Say

I feel so great having completed the CertCSR programme. My confidence levels have grown, clients have noticed my increased knowledge and my co-workers respect the CSR role a lot more than they did before. I particularly enjoyed the bereavement section of the Gold level as it was a topic I am passionate about and want to give the best possible experience to our clients when it comes to the euthanazia of their furry friend – I can confidently say this will happen now I've taken this course. Thank you Colorful CE!
