This is my third time doing contractual…

This is my third time doing contractual work for this company. They are nonresponsive whenever it is time for them to compensate me for my work. I emailed the trainer acquisition executives, who are ignoring my emails. I did the job for them over a month ago. Please do not become a trainer for this company because it is a scam.

Mangates provides rewarding experiences

Mangates has been such a rewarding company to partner with as a corporate trainer. Their programs cover such a wide variety of topics—from negotiation skills, emotional intelligence, and management development to technical courses like Power BI—so there’s always something meaningful to teach. The clients are engaged and bring great energy to each session, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The curriculum is structured but flexible enough to allow for interactive activities, which I really appreciate as a trainer.

Roopa is fantastic at coordinating everything behind the scenes and ensuring I’m fully prepared before stepping into the classroom. Mangates truly values both its clients and trainers, and it shows in how smoothly the sessions run. I’m excited to continue collaborating with them and delivering more impactful training sessions in the future.

I wish I would’ve read these reviews…

I completed a presentation for Mangates in June and submitted my invoice. Payment was delayed for two months and only made after I posted my initial Trustpilot review. To be fair, I want to note that I have now received payment in full. However, I feel it is important to share that during those two months, repeated follow-ups went unanswered, and since receiving payment I have been contacted multiple times by phone, email, and LinkedIn requesting I delete my review. While I am glad the matter was ultimately resolved, my review reflects the full experience I had working with this company.

Dear Jeannettte,

Thank you for sharing your experience and for updating your review to confirm that payment has been received in full. We sincerely apologize for the two-month delay, which occurred due to an unforeseen technical glitch in our payment process. Unfortunately, this also caused a lapse in our communication, and we regret the frustration it created.

We also acknowledge your concern regarding our follow-ups after the payment was made. Our intention was to clarify and resolve the matter, not to cause inconvenience.

We value your contribution and feedback, and we are taking steps to strengthen our systems to ensure smoother processes and better communication in the future.

Review of Mangates.com

My liaison Sia Bennett was very responsive and assisted me throughout this journey. The trainer Sivaram Ravi was very knowledgeable and gave very good insights during the training programme! We had some technical glitches on the online class entry, but otherwise, the goodness of the people made it positive!

Strategic Time Management workshop

We recently had the pleasure of hosting Mangates for their "Strategic Time Management" workshop at our organisation, and I can confidently say it was an incredibly valuable experience for everyone involved. From start to finish, the session was engaging, insightful, and packed with actionable strategies that our team can immediately implement.

Our trainer Rosemarie's expertise and ability to connect with the audience were excellent. Rosemarie didn't just deliver content; she inspired us to rethink our approach to time and productivity. She fostered an interactive environment where questions were encouraged, and real-world scenarios were discussed, making the learning deeply relevant.

The workshop covered a range of highly effective techniques, moving beyond generic advice to provide truly strategic tools. We particularly benefited from learning about:

"Eat the Frog": A powerful approach to tackling the most challenging tasks first, ensuring critical work gets done.

Advanced Planning Techniques: Practical methods for structuring our days and weeks to maximize efficiency and focus.

Conquering Procrastination: Actionable insights and strategies to identify and overcome the common pitfalls of procrastination.

Our team walked away feeling empowered, equipped with a new toolkit for managing their time more effectively and boosting overall productivity.

If you're looking for a workshop that genuinely transforms how your team approaches time management, I highly recommend Mangates. This wasn't just another training session; it was an investment in our team's efficiency and well-being.

Positive training, delayed payment

Mangates reached out to me on LinkedIn to facilitate a training. The staff people were great and clear at first. They provided materials and clear instructions. After signing the initial agreement, I was sent a list of things to complete prior and during the training, which included printing with special paper (requiring a trip to Staples), and I was asked to take the client out for lunch and front the bill - they reimbursed for these expenses but I hadn't factored the additional time into the compensation agreement. That said, I was willing to do all of this to explore the relationship as I had a positive impression. I enjoyed facilitating the training. I was disappointed when communication and customer service dropped off as I was trying to secure timely payment. It took a lot of follow up and ultimately this review to get paid several weeks late.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you found our staff supportive and that you enjoyed facilitating the training. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the additional pre-training tasks and the delay in your payment. Due to an unexpected process glitch, the payment was unfortunately delayed, and we understand the frustration this caused. While we aim to ensure trainers are supported and compensated promptly, we clearly fell short in this instance. Your feedback is valuable, and we are taking steps to strengthen our processes and communication so this does not happen again. We truly appreciate the effort and professionalism you brought to the training and hope to have the opportunity to collaborate again under better circumstances.

Mangates Training

Both coordinators, David Levin and Sia Bennett, were very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and effective in helping me to set up my training. The workshop was extremely well-done and will be directly applicable to my work. I would definitely recommend this course and this group, Mangates, for continuing education courses. I was very pleased with the entire process--easy scheduling, easy access to David and Sia for any and all questions and scheduling, and very acceptable pricing for the day long course. Highly recommend Mangates!

Staff learned a lot from the courses

Staff learned a lot from the courses. They also like the certificate piece very much. Organization wise, Mangates has been very accommodating with changes and moving people around to different days, which is a very important factor on our side.

Train the Trainer 1 Day

Jim was great in the Train the Trainer course. His energy was fantastic and he helped to tailor the training to our field. We are taking a lot of what we learned to improve our current training plans.

Very engaging

My employer booked the Train the Trainer course at our facility for our training team. The instructor James was very knowledgeable and conveyed the information in a very clear and digestible way. His enthusiasm for the content he presented helped to keep the class engaged and provided useful tools for us to use in the future.
