What our clients think
13
“Mind Click offer great customer support options and are extremely competitive on LMS pricing. But why we chose them is the personal service we received throughout the initial sales process and the ongoing sense of continuity since. That doesn’t happen with suppliers very often these days. Mind Click know what we want to achieve, take the time to understand our objectives and are always ready and able to help us achieve them.” Sarah Beal, Head of Resourcing and Talent, glh Hotels
“Mind Click’s shared passion and enthusiasm for technology enabled learning made choosing Mind Click as an LMS partner an easy choice.” James Perez, Training and Development Manager, Sky
“The pricing was competitive, which is always a key consideration of course. But crucially, it was transparent which created a strong relationship based on trust right from the start.”Liz Thomson, Learning and Development Manager, Berlitz
