Hi Dean, Stacey Wallington asked me to drop you a e-mail as i have done several jobs for your group over the past months. Just to say i finished your course last March 2009 I have found more and more work, and I am now working for about eight different companies, so all going well, and could really be working full time at the moment if I wanted, but as I really only wanted part-time as I am retired with a pension it is keeping me busy.

I am currently a part time Personal Injury Investigator working on behalf of Lawyers Support Services (LSS) a sister company of ALM Training and another work provider (introduced by LSS in 2009) where I have a continual work flow to keep me busy in my spare time and leave periods. I trained with ALM training and qualified in Incident, Fraud and Claims Investigation in March 2008 and then shortly after completed the Business and Administration NVQ Level 3 with Lin Hyde. I attended the courses as part of an Army initiative to allow all Army Master Drivers to hold a civilan qualification in Accident Investigation, this stood me in very good stead whilst serving and given me the expertise, confidence and drive to continue as a civilan having left the service in 2009 after 22 years and put my training recieved from ALM Training into practice, set up my own small business 'DJS Accident Investigations' and work on a part time basis along side my day job. All staff at ALM Training particulalry Lin, Dean, Daz and Stacey have been extremely helpful and supportive in providiing advice, continual support, encouragement and a work flow to satisfy my needs as required. Thanks everyone at ALM Training and Lawyers Support for all your continual help and advice in providing me work and supporting me in setting up my business.

Having decided on a new career, I started training with ALM in May 2009 and qualifed by exam at Level 3 in September. Both the Foundation and Advanced courses were very enjoyable and informative and there was a camaraderie amongst the students and instructors. Having taken the exam during the transitional period at ALM during which the qualification was changed from Level 3 to Level 4, I was offered the opportunity to move up to Level 4 by submitting essays at no extra cost. I had paid for the Level 3 course and received all that was promised, so I consider ALM to be very generous in allowing me to obtain the additional qualification without additional cost. This demonstrates how straighforward, honest and caring the company is towards its students. ALM fulfilled its promise of giving me my first instruction very quickly. The training has changed the way I drive forever (I was reasonably careful before the course) and has made me aware, not only of my rights with regard to incidents, but also what to do should I or any of my friends get injured. For this alone the course was well worth the investment. However, most importantly, qualifying with ALM has opened up a new career for me. Having just obtained the Level 4 qualification, I now have the very pleasant decision of whether to go it alone, contract out to agencies, add this knowledge to my armoury of other skills, or any combination of these. What a wonderful position to be in! And it is thanks to ALM!

I took the course in May and June 2006 and sat the exam in September. Within 6 weeks, I'd covered my course fees. Taking the course is the best thing I ever did. I have a legal background, but the course updated my skills and prepared me for freelance work. If I'd written my own ideal job description - this would be it.

I successfully completed my training in 2006 after leaving the legal profession. Having a career where I can choose my own hours and work regime was a prime motivator for me and completing the course has enabled me to do this. The technical depth of the course surprised me and certainly prepared me for the variety of instructions which I now receive from a number of providers. I would have no hesitation in recommending the course to anyone wishing to pursue a similar career path.

The ALM course does exactly what it says!! If you are hard working, motivated and pay attention to detail then you will be successful not just in the course but in the industry itself. I qualified last August and only do this job on a part time basis but I could work 24/7 if I wanted too!. The quality of training is second to none and the course has an excellent reputation in the insurance sector I have had no problem in finding work since qualification as the ALM course provided me with an excellent grounding in the level and quality of work that is needed to be a success.

Qualified Investigator, London

I started training with A.L.M in October 2008. Due to other business commitments I did not qualify until July 2009. Over the years I have undergone a lot of training courses and the ALM training has got to rank as one of the best. The quality of training and professionalism demonstrated by all A.L.M staff was of the highest standard. The syllabus was far reaching and prepared me for virtually every eventuality I might expect to meet. On qualifying A.L.M supplies all agents with a list of agencies who want work undertaken. Some are better than others, and some pay better than others! However the better the standard presented to them the more instructions you will get.

Having decided to seek a new direction in my working career I enrolled with ALM in 2008. At the time there was another course available from an alternative supplier but it was soon evident that they were not as professional as ALM. The ALM training modules were intense but professionally managed to enable the student to achieve the maximum in the time available. I qualified as an IFC Investigator in December 2008 and started work in March 2009 having fulfilled other business commitments. The qualification has stood me in good stead ever since. I am working mainly for 3 agencies all of which obtained my details from ALM. The work is steady and, thanks to the endorsements from ALM, I regularly receive enquiries from new work providers. My career choice has been successful and I enjoy the work greatly, meeting different types of people and seeing different situations every day.

After 26 years in the fish business I wanted to change my career, after seeing an advert in the national press for Incident Investigators I applied to go on the course and have never looked back. After completing a very enjoyable and professionally run course in the autumn of 2007 I became an accredited Incident, Fraud and Claims investigator. From day one I felt I had been equipped with the relevant knowledge to succeed in my new career. That was two years ago and since then I have had a constant supply of work that is both interesting and rewarding. Every day is different and every cases is different from the one before. Thanks to all at ALM.
