“SBDCBELIZE has tremendously impacted me as an entrepreneur, equipping me with the essential skill sets needed for leadership, access to valuable information, and the opportunity to expand my network. The training sessions have been exceptional, and my advisor, Marty, has been incredibly supportive. He consistently follows up with me, checking in to ensure I’m on track, offering encouragement, and always addressing matters promptly. His coaching has been invaluable, and his motivational approach keeps me driven toward my goals.” 

Deb Arana, Deb’s Trinket Box

“Both my advisor and SBDCBelize have had a very positive impact on my business, Deb’s Trinket Box, particularly by offering opportunities to be part of their pavilion at larger expos. These events have helped me make significant sales while also benefiting from their marketing efforts, which add credibility to my brand—especially since Deb’s Trinket Box is still in its early stages. Additionally, my advisor keeps me informed about various opportunities, ensuring that I can continuously participate and grow. The support has been invaluable in helping me establish my business and build connections in the market.” 

Reimers Feed Mill – Testimonial

We recently had the opportunity to partner with BTEC for staff development sessions. The sessions focused on Effective Communication and Building a Positive Work Culture, two areas that are essential for any thriving team.

Led by the dynamic duo, Angelita Staine and Marcelli Richards, the training was engaging, practical, and full of real-world insight. Their energy, professionalism, and ability to connect with our team made the learning environment both enjoyable and productive.

One standout aspect of the training is that BTEC provides each participant with a certificate of completion. Receiving this certificate gave our team members a genuine sense of accomplishment and pride. It validated their participation and served as a tangible reminder of their growth and commitment to professional development.

Our staff walked away feeling empowered, more self-aware, and better equipped to communicate and collaborate effectively.

I recommend BTEC Training for organizations serious about building strong, positive teams.

Cheri Stephenson’s Testimonial

Before I joined my first training at BTEC, I was unemployed, had no work experience, and was a full-time mother of two. It was a challenging time in my life. I was constantly filling out job applications, just hoping for a response, a chance, anything.

Then I heard about BTEC’s Home Caregiver training and decided to give it a try. That decision changed everything. During the training, I learned so much, CPR, people skills, and practical caregiving techniques that are truly essential for anyone entering the workforce or just looking to grow professionally.

Because I had the Caregiving Certificate, I was able to branch off and later obtain a Paraprofessional Certificate, which taught me how to work with individuals who are neurodiverse or have special education needs. That additional knowledge helped me grow even more and opened new doors I didn’t think were possible before.

Becoming a caregiver was the first real step in my career journey, and thanks to the skills I gained and the support I received through BTEC, it’s been a successful one. Since then, I’ve taken part in other trainings that has built on that foundation, and I’m proud to say that I now carry myself as a true professional.

If you ever get the opportunity to take a BTEC training don’t think twice. These trainings are not only educational and impactful, but they’re also welcoming and full of encouragement. I made amazing friends during my time there, we lifted each other up, motivated one another, and shared in each other’s growth.

And yes, BTEC even helped me find job opportunities. If you’re unemployed or just looking to improve your skills, they’re there to support and refer you. That one decision to take a chance on myself was the beginning of everything.

Koby Mayen’s Testimonial

The Beltraide team, along with Mr. Tremett Perriott have developed a customer service program that allows implementation as both customer and service provider. The information shared by Mr. Perriott has prompted me to take more pride in my customer service, as well as being a more mindful customer myself. A point that stuck with me was the fact that you may not always be able to immediately resolve a customer’s issue, but by simply offering your plan of action to address their problem, it can often be comforting to a disgruntled customer.
