What Our Clients Have Said
"Ultra Education at Stonebridge was a great experience! The staff were nice and helpful, and I began developing my business idea. I really appreciated the contacts provided, like the illustrator. I was also invited to watch other young entrepreneurs present their pitches and received support in designing logos on Canva."
"I've enjoyed connecting with other parents who share similar entrepreneurial aspirations. It has been a tremendous boost, especially during times when my business has experienced stagnation. Sharing advice and contributing to each other's ideas has been truly inspirational and empowering."
"I'm satisfied with the course so far—thank you for the mini assignments! They've given me tasks to focus on and a better understanding of how a business operates. I look forward to more face-to-face, interactive sessions with guest speakers!"
"I really enjoyed the programme, especially getting the chance to connect with a music producer—it was such a valuable experience. I wish schools offered more relevant and helpful subjects, like courses in fashion and music, so young people could explore their passions. It would be amazing to have more funded programmes for music production, engineering, and studio time to help us build real skills for the future."
"I am amazed that my son, H, who is autistic, was able to present his ideas to the group. He often struggles to express himself, so seeing him engage with his peers without being labeled has been such a positive experience. He can participate in the programme just like everyone else, without fading into the background. It’s been a real confidence boost for him, and he looks forward to attending every session. I love how inclusive and accessible the programme is, and how it supports his growth in such a meaningful way."
"I’m excited to invite you to our community safety workshop to present a case study from your latest report. Our goal is to develop a Critical Incident Protocol to bolster community safety in the borough, and your insights are invaluable to the success of this event. Your report on mediating between two young people was truly impactful, and we believe it would be a great addition to our workshop. This presentation would provide attendees with practical insights, lessons learned, and best practices they can apply to enhance community safety."
