All my pupils have always commented that the course they have attended has been very worth while. No matter what course I am running I always ask for Pat to deliver it as I know it will be a guaranteed success! |
His presentations are, with out doubt, a very positive experience for all our students and we look forward to welcoming him back in the very near future. |

Students and Staff were overwhelmingly positive in their reviews of the experience. I would thoroughly recommend this programme to motivate students and raise awareness of what employers want. |
Our presenter, Pat Jamison, was superb. His preparation prior to this programme with Year 8 where he trained up some of our A level pupils to act as mentors really added to the event. |
It was vibrant, energetic and thought provoking. The employers who participated also enjoyed the event and commented on the knowledge and expertise with which Pat led the programme. |
