TESTIMONIALS

  • Our company was planning a major software implementation that affected everyone in the company. We were going to have significant training costs to bring everyone up to speed on the new system. When we heard of the ETP program and Training Refund Group from our software vendor we contacted them to learn about the program. They explained all the steps in the program, the time it would take to get through the approval process, and the effort required on our part to receive the money. Larry was accurate in the timing and the amount of funding we could receive. With the help of ETP and Training Refund Group we are able cover almost 70% of the training costs of this implementation.

  • As a professional services firm, we spend a lot of money training our employees. We had never heard of the Employment Training Panel prior to being contact by Larry Mandell. We are now 12 months through our first project with ETP and things have been very smooth. We appreciate the work they have done for us.
    Manager of Staff Development Professional Services firm with 118 employees
  • I’d been through the ETP program when I worked for another company. While we liked the money the program provided, it was a lot of work to do it ourselves. Training Refund Group was referred to us by a vendor and we listened to what Larry had to say. We’re glad we did. His team made the process simpler and they have lived up to the promises they made.

  • We are impressed with the team effort Training Refund Group put into making sure our project went smoothly. From getting us through the application phase to managing the administration of the training rosters they did a great job.
    Human Resources Manager Manufacturer with 120 employees
  • Larry and his team did a great job in getting us through application process. They did what they said they would do by taking the load off of us and handling the majority of the paperwork in the application process. We are now in the training phase of the agreement and we expect they will do a great job taking care of that as well.
