“Our Accountant put us in touch with Capacitate Plus to help us get the best out of our Sum-It Farm Accounts program.  As a complete beginner in managing computerised accounts records, I have really reaped the benefits of having someone close to hand to guide me though this process. Teresa put an achievable plan into place and now I am far more confident as a result.”

Nicky Smith, Haydon Farm, Taunton


“As a Devon primary school with a significant number of new, inexperienced governors it has been essential for us to develop our knowledge as a team in a short period of time.
Teresa Sturtivant took note of our requirements and designed a  bespoke ‘self review’ training program for us which she also facilitated. We have been extremely impressed with the level of training, support and guidance provided during this process ” 

Chair of Governors, East Devon Primary School – May 2018

 

 

 

“Capacitate Plus helped us take financial control of our farm contracting business. Teresa quickly identified our learning styles and put together a training program on Sum-It farm software that suits our business needs. We’ve been thrilled with how much we have developed in such a short period of time”
