Why customers love our career guidance software
I was impressed by the level of bespoke feedback Career Guru gives to students on their CV readiness and career options. Further to this, the coaching that the platform offers in preparing students for finding work experiences is timely for the new challenges we face emerging from lockdown.
I would highly recommend Access to all academies.
What I have found with Access is how easy everything is, from the sales team to the help desk – everyone is really easy to talk to and willing to help. I like the development portal which I feel has really allowed Access to grasp how I see their software now and in the future. That makes me feel really valued as a customer.
The team at Access were really helpful and despite implementing a new system during lockdown, I know the whole team felt well supported.
The team at Access has continued to exceed our expectations, remained competitive on price and invested in countless product upgrades.
