"If you're using LinkedIn, go on a Kintish course today."
Andrew Simcock, Business Development Manager, KPMG

"This is a very well structured and well-presented workshop which is an excellent start for those, like myself, who are new to LinkedIn and who want to start using it effectively. However, the element which really makes the workshop stand out is that I am still using all the skills I learned several weeks down the line, am adding to those skills and now have a much greater degree of confidence about making the most of LinkedIn. I would heartily recommend this workshop."
Amber Moore, Training & Development Consultant, Amber Moore Consulting

"Two Linkedin success stories for you: A former colleague contacted me through Linkedin. He and I worked together about five years ago and weren't in regular contact but he wanted me to help him launch his business. He'd said he'd seen my status updates coming through and knew I was helping clients just like him. I attended a Kintish Linkedin course in Feb where I met the managing partner of a north west law firm and we linked in. I got an introduction request via him from a law firm in Cheshire who'd seen me in his contacts and wanted a professional services marketing specialist to help with their marketing. They've just confirmed a large project with me."
