Testimonials

Kimberly Cummings

Canada

“It was a very good experience. I was skeptical when I adopted the ISO 29001 (QMS) Lead Implementer course with Learnfly Academy. But to my amazement, every commitment which they made at the time of joining was fulfilled appropriately. This is what made me appreciate their services. Totally worth the price.”

“I went for ISO 9001 Lead Auditor course and throughout the training Learnfly and its team made sure that everything was totally up to the mark. The trainer’s experience was reflected through his training methods. The interactive tools that he applied to his teachings and the amiable services that I receive are worth a positive feedback.”
