Tom at Velocity

Tom helped me for a few month to find me the perfect apprenticeship. He worked hard to find me one and it’s really appreciated.

My experience was comfortable

My experience was comfortable, streamlined and simple.
Throughout the process I had experienced some unforeseen incident, despite short notice both the specialist from velocity academy and the hiring agent were incredibly responsive, understanding and fair. It felt like those I was in contact with really went above and beyond in order to prepare me with the best possible information.

Thomas Crossland & Emma Serventi

Thomas Crossland has helped me out a lot over the passed 2 months. He found me a new role and organised everything for me top service and a nice guy. Can forget Emma Serventi either she has been great as she got me in touch with Tom and she’s a mint teacher.

Ghosted me.

Don't know why people are recommending Thomas Crossland so much. After a telephone and webchat interview, he completely ghosted me. No response to emails or calls. Absolutely useless. I get if he was on holiday or something, but then someone else should pick up his emails. Joke of a company.

Velocity - efficient and effective!

Elliott and team made the whole process easy, explaining every step well along the way. Finding an apprentice was a lot quicker than expected (less than 4 weeks) and Elliott kept us up to date with developments regularly. Overall, Velocity communicated very well and were very efficient and professional throughout.

Fantastic Provider

I must say, We are over the moon with the service which Elliot and his team have provided to us over the past 2-3 years. The attention to detail is second to non, and they are all very supportive. The courses which they have put our staff on have been great too, big thanks again team Velocity
