What people say about the CCU…
A number of our previous students and clients have been kind enough to offer their thoughts about our teaching methods and their overall learning experience with us. We welcome all feedback and offer sincere thanks to all those who have along with our best wishes for the future.
“Working with Creative Communities Unit on Appetite has really helped push our thinking and learn to improve how we think and act on the programme . CCU has supported the programme to establish a really clear and robust framework for how we collect, share and disseminate data. Their ability and expertise in engaging with a wide range of people has really added value to Appetite.”

“I had a vested interest in Mentoring and needed a course which would teach me about both theory and practical skills needed to be a good mentor. Thank you to Staffordshire University and Louise Rutherford for making the course interesting, relevant to my employment needs and most enjoyable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a short course which delivers its aim.”
