Below are some extracts from testimonies written about Alison:
Alison's particular strengths are her efficiency and reliability as a project manager - events are always delivered on time and to budget - and her attention to the details which ensure that the delegates experience the highest standards of customer care. She has a proactive can-do approach backed up by a high level of understanding of all aspects of project management and an impressive array of practical skills, including very high order ICT skills.
Alison is thoroughly dependable; she never allows herself to be defeated by the challenges of a situation and is expert at analysing needs and priorities. Her time-management is superb. She is both a leader and team player and is highly skilled in developing the strengths and talents of others
In Zusammenhang zur Kurs: Deutsch für Primarlehrer, Boppard, Deutschland, October 2003; möchte ich die sehr gute Zusammenarbeit mit Alison Cutler erwähnen. Ihre sehr hohen organisatorischen Fähigkeiten, ihre technischen Fertigkeiten im Umgang mit digitalen Medien, auch ihre sprachliche Kompetenz im Bereich Deutsch sind hervorragend. Es war ein großes Vergnügen mit einem solchen Partner wie Alison zusammenarbeiten. Die Rückmeldungen der Teilnehmer bezeugen den Erfolg.
Alison has extensive experience as a course organiser both in the UK and abroad. I have attended courses as a delegate in England and France which were always superbly organised and run efficiently. She gives freely of her time to help, co-ordinate, and to put delegates at their ease, often dealing with large numbers of people from different backgrounds. She always remains calm and professional. I have also worked closely with Alison and CILT to deliver courses for primary teachers in Spain and found her experience and organisational skills invaluable. She has excellent interpersonal skills and has the ability to communicate effectively with people of a range of ages and backgrounds. She is committed, highly organised, flexible, and approachable. Her support is always fantastic
Soy Fran Bendala, Asistente de Español del programa CILT que se imparte cada año en España (Tordesillas, provincia de Valladolid). Quería dar testimonio de las abilidades ejecutivas y organizativas de la encargada de los Progaramas de CILT en España: Alison Cutler. Es toda una profesional entusiasta de su trabajo, muy organizada, eficaz y experta en liderar eventos y conferencias de interés. Habla correctamente el español con mucha fluidez. Es muy sociable, agradable, trabajadora y una gran comunicadora, lo que la lleva a alcanzar los objetivos con éxito. Es siempre un placer trabajar con ella.
I have known Alison for several years in her capacity as Head of Conferences and Events at CILT. My contact with Alison has always been excellent. She is well organised, helpful and friendly to everyone she encounters in her work. She has a very sociable personality and always goes the extra mile in making sure her staff are well supported and her tasks are completed.
I have worked with Alison Cutler on various events over a period of 5 years. These events ranged in size from 50-900 people and included multi-sessions, exhibitions, IT and AV provision for both speakers and attendees, and formal conference dining with entertainment. During this time I found Alison to be both organised and proactive regarding all aspects of the events - she never assumed anything but verified all information at each stage pre and post event, especially with regards to financial details. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison to manage all aspects of any type of event. She is thorooughly focused, amiable and flexible, always willing to negotiate to produce the best outcome for all parties,
I have known Ms Cutler for over ten years. During this time of our professional relationship I have come to value her as an invaluable colleague. Her professionalism, her unstinting attention to details, and outcome-focused approach to her work have made it an undiluted pleasure to work with her over the years. The overwhelming success of the conferences she has organised with me is in no small measure attributable to Alison's expertise and skills in all aspects of conference management. She and the team so competently directed made what appeared to us lay people an often insurmountable series of potential problems and pitfalls, look easily manageable and effortlessly do-able.
I have worked with Alison since 2003. During this time she has supported our programme for professional development for teachers, advisers and trainers. In particular she has had the responsibility for organising our largest annual conference and exhibition 'The Primary Languages Show', and has also developed a wide range of educational language courses abroad for teachers throughout Europe. Alison is a thoroughly reliable and trustworthy colleague who is a pleasure to be with and to work with.
