The 30 Best Institute in Newcastle

“I'm a 67 year old man who's led an active life playing a variety of sports including training in karate at a basic level. About 6 weeks ago I read an article in which it was said that aikido is a very beneficial martial art for any age and that its techniques place less demands on the body than other forms. In other words a good place for older people who want to take up a martial art. I discovered that my nearest dojo was with Martin Acton Sensei in Dromore, County Down. I got in touch with him to arrange a 1:1 lesson and turned up to the dojo feeling nervous and self conscious. However I found Martin very welcoming and friendly. And over the weeks I have come to value his understanding, patience, knowledge and encouragement as he takes me through the main qualities he's trying to foster and the gentle techniques he's teaching. Unlike my previous experience of martial arts aikido emphasises developing qualities we all need to become better human beings, more loving, more compassionate, more grounded.”

“This school has been an amazing experience for both my son and I.. The staff are so kind and loving to the children... They are willing to take the time to get to know each child and are able to tend to their individual needs.. I would recommend this school to any one who has ever been unhappy with the school setting their child is in or has been in. For me it was night and day.. I makes me so happy to know my child is happy everyday to get up and go to school...”

“Very friendly staff. Great pharmacy!”

“I did the Diploma a few years ago and have attended several Trading days at IIFT. I have always found that everyone that I have dealt with has been genuinely interested in putting fledgling traders on a solid footing. The emphasis has always been on ensuring that risk is understood and kept under control, and that trading is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced, and that it takes patience, discipline and perseverance to get the hang of it. Plus, they are always available to help when needed. Well worth the investment - if you're prepared to put in the effort to learn.”

“Can't recommend rory enough. Came to rory with an ongoing issue I was having in my lower leg and rory quickly got to work and found out the origin of my issue wasn't my lower leg where my pain was but it was actually my hamstring casuing this pain. Rory is highly professional and knowledgeable and with his help I was able to sprint pain free again setting PB after PB for a great track season.”

“Our little girl Nina absolutely loves going to her drama class with shell. We couldn’t believe how confident she was on stage at their Christmas show after just a few weeks of going! She can still sometimes be very shy, but shell is so brilliant with her and encourages her in all the best possible ways. She teaches the kids about self worth, confidence, kindness and creativity.”

The camp was incredibly well organised and run. If you really want to accelerate your training and enjoy a lovely week in the sun then don't hesitate to book. Hotel and food were amazing too and completely exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!”

“Best decision I made in my life!! Car has been sitting on my driveway for two years, battery dead and wheels are flat lots of work needs done to it, I wanted to bring it back to life so I googled the closest mechanic near Downpatrick, came across James mullan autos and read his reviews and they were all delightful, I rang him he picked up and said he will be at my address in 15min and lift the car. The next morning he texted me and said the car is fully restored and fully passed MOT!! James put four new tyres, a new battery, new springs, cleaned all the rust out of my brakes changed the oil, aligned my wheels, fixed my broken bonnet, booked MOt passed it and he did all that in less than 12 hours absolutely incredible service and when he brought the car back to my driveway he even cleaned my car spotless I mean spotless like even the mould build up inside the headlights I was so delighted and I am so thankful for him I could cry as I loved my car he really is great business owner and the best mechanic Iv come across in many years. And to top that the price for all that was incredibly reasonable he does not over charge he is fair and does his job no messing about !!! Definitely be taking my cars to him from now on. Kenny”

“Darren has been good enough to come and teach my apprentice technicians at Transport Training Services NI about his company and the effects of carbon build up in an engine on 3 occasions so far. On each visit a vehicle has had the carbon clean carried out. Great results recorded on all the cars done. Even got a fault diagnosed during a demonstration. Darren really knows his stuff and we've really enjoyed learning from him. Highly recommended.”
