Testimonials

Amanda led the recruitment of a full team of academic teaching staff, including the recruitment of the School Principal for our new online secondary school. She worked diligently to tight deadlines and provided real value-add throughout the process. Her attention to detail, global awareness and deep pedagogical knowledge were critical to our successful recruitment season. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again, or to recommend her.

Amanda assigned a Personality Assessment to a Company leadership team that I work with. She then followed up with one to one feedback sessions. The sessions were handled with professionalism and empathy and Amanda demonstrated the ability to use the insights from the assessment alongside her coaching skills to ensure the leadership team members were able to take on board the significant insights from the assessments and apply the learning to the contexts of their role as part of the Company leadership team.

Since the assessment we have seen really positive impact in terms of how the individuals both work together as a team but also how they meet the needs of their role within the company.

Amanda is an absolute pleasure to work with and I have been witness to her achieving some outstanding business results for the organisations in which she works.The teams that Amanda has built and managed will attest to her high level management skills. She is much respected by those that work for her, and she invests heavily in the professional development of her staff to ensure they work optimally in demanding environments. It is no exaggeration to say that Amanda is an expert in identifying the challenges faced by educational institutions, and creating practical, results-driven solutions that meet organisations' pain points and deliver meaningful, positive outcomes for learners. I would highly recommend Amanda as a colleague who consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty and who exceeds the expectations of her superiors.

Amanda orchestrated and collated our Personal Development Curriculum, (PDC), as well as leading training supporting our delivery. On all levels it is nothing short of brilliant. The PDC is clearly laid out with a comprehensive and logical scheme of work and lesson plans all readily adaptable. It is, also, completely compliant with the most recent UK government legislation and brings with it a comprehensive library of resources and a plethora of easily accessible links. In short this is one of the most through and easy to use curriculum provision I have ever used. Thank you Amanda.

It’s rare to work for a good friend, and rarer still for that person to be a good line manager and an inspiring leader. I’m fortunate to have known Amanda in a professional as well as a personal capacity for over six years. Having worked together on a large-scale school improvement project in the United Arab Emirates, Amanda has been my line manager for the past two and a half years in Pearson. During this time, I have been most impressed by her ability to manage multiple projects and priorities across time zones and countries. Complementing these abilities are Amanda’s people skills; skills which enable her to navigate different cultures and social situations with ease, and which, alongside her business acumen, have enabled her to realise opportunities in a range of contexts, from schools to education ministries, across the region. Vibrant and forward-thinking, Amanda would be an asset to any company!

I worked with Amanda Collins as a consultant on several projects over the past fifteen years. With her technical leadership, we contributed to the design, implementation, and evaluation of large-scale initiatives focused on capacity building and curriculum development, including training materials. Our clients consistently expressed high satisfaction with the quality of our deliverables, the precision of our execution, and the achievement of targeted impacts. Often, our successful projects led to new opportunities with other clients, thanks to the strong reputation we built for excellence in our work.
