'' I have been trying to find a course that would help me get into the Armed Services for over a year and I was lucky enough to get recommended to RAKtrain. The mentoring I received fully prepared me for my pre ADSC (which I successfully passed yesterday) meaning I am confident when I go for my final selection test in April. The tutors were great and I am more than happy to recommend them to my mates who are also looking to join the Army.''

Taken from a recently received thankyou note:

''Dear RAKtrain,

I am writing to thank everyone involved in making the boat expedition successful.

Before this trip, my motivation levels were at an all time low and I would just sit around doing nothing all day, every day.............so I signed up (to the course) although I had no idea what I was letting myself in for.

At the end of the first day, I was so tired and moody, all I wanted to do was come home to my own bed. But then I began to realise there are a lot of people that would love to be in my position and take part in what I'm doing.

Since the end of the trip, I have enrolled on an e2e course and I am also hoping to move into my own place pretty soon.......my motivation and confidence have been rebuilt and I have made loads of new friends.

So finally, I would like to say THANK YOU again for helping me to turn my life around. This has been life changing and would definately do it again given the chance.

Yours thankfully,

Maddie''

''I believe the trip was a complete success and helped the team bond together. It also showed what each one of us was capable of doing in a difficult situation and was an experience no person should miss.''
