Delegates love the interactive nature of the training and the clear, knowledgeable, and professional way in which Sián explains the practicalities and complexities of conducting inventories.

The course explains why inventories are so important and provides our agents with the knowledge and understanding to ensure inventories are both legally compliant and professionally written products that avoid any future disputes or complaints.

The modern, fresh look of the course and the post-course learning materials and support, has been first class. From initial communications with Sián to the delivery of the first course, Sián and Inventory Base have been excellent, and we look forward to that relationship going from strength to strength.”
