Reviews

Purple Griffon recently delivered 2 service management courses for the MOD and we all found it to be a very positive experience. The Company is very professional, with extremely knowledgeable and experienced trainers, who have real world skills.

Garry Jones - Procurement Manager, MOD

It was a beast of a course but very rewarding. Thanks for the assistance around the booking - the customer service was excellent. I no longer have to hide behind my project management team and can say loud and proud I am a PRINCE2® practitioner!

Matthew Slater - Service Delivery Manager, InTechnology

The training was organised well, administrative help was quick and relevant which made the information gathering and training preparations fast & easy. The trainer was knowledgeable and experienced. We’ve received very good feedback.

Karolina Manka - Training Specialist, Accenture

I passed! which I must admit was 100% down to your trainer Bob. He gave us enough stories and tips to get me through it and sometimes the stories sink in better than anything else. Thanks again, I'd definitely use your company again because of him.

Tracy Iqbal - IT Assistant, MacRoberts

Feedback from staff has been positive and you have helped us to effectively embed the ITIL® framework into our working processes and achieve key organisational goals. We look forward to continuing with rest of our ITIL® courses throughout the year.

Max Khalid - ITSM Specialist, London Programme for IT

I have self-funded several courses with Purple Griffon, and passed all of my exams to gain ITIL® Expert accreditation. This wouldn't have been possible without the help from the team and tutors. This makes Purple Griffon my first choice of training provider.

Sarah Jamieson - Individual , Self-Funded

Excellent course material and exercises and discussion facilitate learning in the classroom. Managed to pass all exams of courses taken with Purple Griffon! And I believe on this latest course a 100% pass rate from all delegates on the course!

Rob James - Individual, Self-Funded

Great company and Steve is a really knowledgeable guy as well!

Maurits Van Der Plas - Director, Van Haren Learning Solutions

I could not find any other training exclusively focused on the IT SDM roles and responsibilities elsewhere, making this course possibly the best IT SDM training in the world! I consider this course among the top courses I've had the pleasure of attending.

Michael Hilliker - IT Branch, Gouvernement Du Canada

The free "Introduction To The World Of The Service Desk" provided a great insight into the world of IT Service Management. Excellent slides.

I have been using Purple Griffon since 2013 after taking a course with another company and didn't receive the best experience. Since 2013 I haven't used anyone else. Excellent courses and very personable trainers and high pass rates.

Terry Wilder - Learner, Self-Funded

The Purple Griffon E-Learning study material is very complete, and prepared me for the exam in an excellent way. I am happy to have used the Purple Griffon material and I am planning to do so again in the near future.

I've taken classroom training via Purple Griffon and their exceptional team on several occasions. In my case it has been ITIL® based and I can only recommend their services.
