We pride ourselves on total satisfaction from each and every valued client. Each recruit carries with them the reputation of WorldNet which we hope is reflected in the testimonials from our clients
Sonia Middleditch

Managing Director, Worldnet UK

Sonia is a breath of fresh air within the recruitment industry. I have met many recruiters in my past who only care about placing the candidate into a role instead of the candidate’s best interest. The 3-day induction program was insightful, well-organised & engaging. The opportunity to speak with experienced individuals within the Offshore market gave me a fantastic insight into what to expect working abroad. I would recommend those who have been selected by Sonia to attend it could change your life… For the better.

Chandip

2024 Delegate

Was a bit hesitant at first, but it turned out to be very good. The presenters are very beneficial to those who want an introduction to Wealth Management and the opportunities there are abroad

Gianluca

2023 Delegate

Invaluable insight into the world of IFA and realistic expectations for anyone considering entering this field

Kate

2023 Delegate

Sonia has a large amount of contacts all over the world and I would not hesitate in recommending the course for anyone wishing to pursue a role overseas.

Michael

2023 Delegate

This was my first experience with a civilian company whilst transitioning out of the military. WorldNet made it very clear what was expected, what would happen and the process I would be undertaking. They were very helpful with questions and put interesting speakers on who I’d like to work with in the future.

Thomas

2023 Delegate

Worldnet has been great with its communication from the beginning all the way through. Very business orientated and I will definitely recommend.

Dr Maxton

2022 Delegate

It was a pleasure working with WorldNet Consultants. The training course they offer is very interesting, boasting speakers from various backgrounds. Once the course was over, Sonia immediately began to market me to her clients and it only took a few days before I received my first interview request.

I will surely be recommending WorldNet Consultants to individuals who intend to pursue a career in the financial advisory/wealth management field

Jozef

2021 Delegate

It was a wonderful experience to meet successful people from abroad and to learn the obstacles that they have overcome.

Greta

2021 Delegate

The presentations were extremely well planned and also very well presented. The interaction with the audience was excellent and literature extremely useful. The course provided a great introduction to a new era for me in the financial sector.

Coming from a technical background in IT, I felt this course really gave me the foundations to start a new career and it’s definitely opened fresh doors.

Stephen

2021 Delegate

I enjoyed the course, the information provided was insightful and carefully presented. All my questions were answered, and I understood what is required to succeed in my preferred role.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sonia & her team.

Nathaniel

2021 Delegate

Coming from a different professional background, I had no experience of the financial industry but after doing the course I find it very exciting in terms of opportunities and progression.

I enjoyed learning about all the different subjects and listening to the presenters take/experience.

Mason

2020 Delegate

I enjoyed the presentations, the information I was provided with and the attention to detail. I got the feeling I was actually being taken care of and that I would have support from everyone

James

2020 Delegate

I was impressed with WorldNet Consultants Ltd from initial contact. Sonia runs an extremely professional organisation with excellent administrative support provided by the WorldNet team. The training course ran smoothly, had a comprehensive agenda and was extremely informative.

Sonia gave useful advice to all candidates throughout the course, complemented by the information provided by guest speakers. Using records held on each candidate, along with monitoring their interaction throughout the week, Sonia interviewed each individual, discussing with them her recommendations for future employment.

David

2020 Delegate

After a long career in the Armed Forces, serving in many locations across the globe and a subsequent career in Financial Services, I was looking for a recruitment company that could place me overseas with a brokerage that would offer me the chance to fully utilise my life experience!

Once I had completed the one-week recruitment course, Sonia was able to place me with exactly the right company in Latin America where after 3 months I was promoted into a senior director’s position – much sooner than I imagined! Sonia, and team, provide an excellent service and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Wayne Danks

2020 Delegate

I had the pleasure of working with Sonia on my latest role. I found Sonia very professional and helpful. In very simple terms, she helped me to get the job I wanted and desired in a very efficient way.

I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for a new adventure

Bart L

2019 Delegate

I want to thank everyone at WorldNet for helping me along my journey. WorldNet placed me in good, safe and caring hands; hands that will see me hone my skills and come into my own. I can honestly say that the team at WorldNet cares.

I was shown nothing but the kindness and warm hospitality. Whether it be long-distance communication or in-person, care and attention were paid to me.

The training period was eye-opening. Anyone who ever has the opportunity to work with WorldNet should definitely take it.

I want to, once again, from the core of my heart say, “Thank you” to everyone at WorldNet for facilitating a most wonderful change in my life.

William Chandler

2019 Delegate

I met Sonia very accidently when I was looking for a job and I must admit I was very, very doubtful in terms of opportunities she offered me. It seemed that it was too good to be true. I was very new to the industry, but she has opened my eyes to all aspects of this business and explained how it all works.

After her Training Course held at their offices, Sonia helped me secure my first job in Wealth Management and I am now living and working in Geneva, Switzerland as a Private Wealth Adviser. Within four months my life has changed 180 percent.

Sonia is the most trustworthy person you can imagine and she always keeps her promises, not only to find you a dream job, but also in assisting you at a later stage if you need it. Do not hesitate to deal with Sonia, trust her and let her change your life!

I wish all companies worked as well as WorldNet, with the great support from the team. Thank you once again and I wish you all the best!

Robert Rogowski

2018 Delegate

WorldNet recruitment is a phenomenal agency. Their preparatory training is rigorous and very relevant. It sets you in the frame.

I worked closely with Sonia during my recent search and they were absolutely amazing. They were always there for me, always kept me in mind, and found the right fit for me – they clearly love what they do.

They listen carefully, communicate efficiently between each other and provide professional guidance in every way. Thank you guys!

Sylvester Madzvova

2018 Delegate, based in Africa/Cyprus

‘My experiences with WorldNet have been very positive.

I forwarded my CV to WordNet at 8 o’clock one evening and received a call the next morning from them, to arrange an interview for the very next day!

From my first meeting with Sonia Middleditch, I was impressed by her professionalism, backed by extensive knowledge and experience. Her interpersonal skills are outstanding and you soon feel you are in a safe pair of hands. It wasn’t long before she evaluated my USPs and how they could be matched against her impressive range of worldwide contacts.

The training course was one of the best I’ve been on and, in my 35 years as a financial adviser, I’ve attended quite a few. There was a good balance of factual and motivational content with the opportunity to talk to the presenters, as well as the other attendees, either over lunch or during a tea break

I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Theo Lemos

WorldNet Delegate 2017

‘I have known Sonia for several years now and she has kindly placed me in two separate offshore roles.

On each occasion she has listened intently to my thoughts and requirements and as a result, diligently placed me with the right organisation.

Sonia and her team make the whole process of joining an offshore company hassle and stress free.

I look forward to a long, fruitful and an ever professional relationship with Worldnet for many years to come’

Lawrence Clifford

Financial Planner/Investment Strategist, Switzerland

Sonia has gone above and beyond in furthering my career in financial services.   Not only did she find a suitable position for myself but supported me throughout the entire process, providing advice, guidance and feedback.

The communication has been fantastic and very personal and I couldn’t recommend WorldNet highly enough

Richard H

(WorldNet Delegate 2016 based in Chile).

My experience with WorldNet has been exceptional.  Sonia Middleditch is a consummate professional who clearly commands respect internationally and possesses a network of extensive IFA-industry connections.  Additionally, she is a classy lady and extremely nice and empathetic person, which is not true of everyone who can boast of her background, abilities, and track record.  Her Assistant, Cat, was extremely well-organized, efficient, and also personally charming.

With respect to the course I recently attended, the hospitality afforded to the delegates was second-to-none.  The course content was five-star, with speakers and discussion leaders who were relevant, interesting, and professionally recognized in their respective fields.  I would have been pleased to attend the course as a conference, even had I not been pursuing IFA placement opportunities, due to the calibre of the experience and wealth of information imparted.

I have continued contact with fellow delegates and session speakers and am thankful for these connections.  Sonia’s follow-up since my recent completion of the course has also been excellent, and we have been exploring and progressing multiple, viable opportunities that could be a fit for me personally and professionally.  I am excited about launching this new chapter in my career and would highly recommend WorldNet to all considering an IFA placement abroad.

Alexandra Cook

WorldNet Graduate 2015

After spending 18 months or so talking with various offshore recruitment agents and offshore brokerages direct, I had become very concerned and despondent about the professionalism, ethics and lax attitudes. I was starting to think my dream of working offshore was going to remain exactly that. Then I found Worldnet Recruitment!

From the initial telephone contact through to interview and training course, Sonia put me completely at ease and I was more than impressed with her knowledge, experience and honesty.

The training course was very insightful and I gained a lot of knowledge on what to expect as, not only an offshore adviser but as an expat in general. The content and speakers were great and it was obvious a lot of thought and planning goes into these courses to ensure all candidates gain as much as possible.

I had already chosen a destination I wanted to work in and Sonia worked with me on this and, during the course, Sonia introduced me to the Director of a successful brokerage from that region who I felt confident I could work well with.

I am now very much looking forward to the move and feel that I have the right skills and knowledge to achieve my goals in a destination where I know I will be happy.

I cannot thank Sonia and Hayley enough for their support and would say, if you are thinking of making the move do not waste the time I did and just contact Worldnet Recruitment

Stacey A

WorldNet Graduate 2013 (Currently based in Istanbul)

WorldNet Training and Recruitment contacted me within one day of receiving my CV and invited me for interview within a week. After accepting me as a candidate they started working on my behalf to find me a suitable position in the country of my choice. I am now about to embark upon what I hope will be a very rewarding career in Finance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Throughout the process Sonia and Hayley were most helpful and informative and I can highly recommend WorldNet Training and Recruitment to other candidates looking for offshore positions. Thank you to you all at WorldNet.

L Oakley

WorldNet Graduate 2012 (Currently based in Rio de Janeiro)

WorldNet have opened my eyes to the opportunities that lie in the offshore arena. Their industry knowledge coupled with their extensive list of contacts has helped my transition into the offshore market and more importantly succeed.

For anyone thinking about a career offshore you will be best served by WorldNet. WorldNet, I will be forever grateful for your help and assistance.

Gavin H

WorldNet Graduate 2011 (Currently based in Holland)

I met Sonia, following an awful experience in my first offshore position, where the broker that I had joined were one of the bad apples, and had returned to the UK, looking for the right opportunity for me. Sonia quickly put me at ease and through the excellent professional manner in which she worked, she has used her vast experience in matching the candidate with the broker that she felt would be right for them.

I definitely feel that Sonia has all the credentials to be able to identify with her candidate, and to know instinctively where the candidate would be best suited, and I feel that without her help, her vast contacts and her know how, I would still be worrying about my next move, but through attending the course with WorldNet, I feel that I am in the right place to really make a mark in the world of offshore financial services!

For that, I would like to thank Sonia and Lauren, and would recommend anyone in a similar position, to utilise this great service!

M Daly

WorldNet Graduate March 2009 (Currently based in Frankfurt)

I felt the course was well structured from the text book outset to the realms of field realism at the close. Each presenter showed a strong knowledge in each field of their willingness to explain further over lunch and dinner was beyond their call of duty which was very refreshing.

Sonia and Lauren hosted the course in a true diplomatic style with personal touches that made the course shine. Each of our group gelled the day before the course started and today we keep in touch thanks to Sonia who showed such personal diligence from the first step.

To summarize, very proud to be on the course where, standards, contents, subject were highly commendable. Thank you Sonia and Lauren.

Neil Reece

(Currently based in Saigon 2008)

Dear Sonia,
I would like to thank you and Olena for your professional organisation and attitude during the Offshore Financial Training course I participated to with 7 others on 5th December 2005.

Apart from enjoying very much the company of the other participants, the beautiful area, the excellent accommodation in Aldeburgh and the good food in classic local pubs, I learnt a lot on the approach to the Offshore financing thanks to the high quality of the trainers and the companies they represent. Their presentations were clear, easy to grasp and highly professional.
In my opinion, this one-week course is ideal even to a newcomer in the industry (which I am), as it provides the necessary basics to be able to start selling the various offshore investment and pension plans products available to the expatriates all over the world. I also appreciated the feedback from various players of the industry such as people who have been involved in the sales for many years and who are enjoying the financial rewards it has given them. The last day with Richard Parramint, a professional coach, helped me understand a lot about myself and the attitude to demonstrate when faced with potential clients.
In a nutshell, the whole course is well worth the money invested and I now cannot wait to reap off the financial and lifestyle rewards this opportunity is going to give me.

I wish to thank you again for giving me this lifetime opportunity of being able to achieve my most ambitious dreams and for the quick placement you helped me to find in Kuwait with a professional and serious brokerage who is providing me with exactly everything which was mentioned i.e. flights, accommodation and visa assistance. As far as I am concerned, you have fulfilled every promise you made during our first meeting and I can only praise the services of WorldNet Recruitment & Training. I shall keep you informed about how I am setting up in Kuwait.

Isabelle

WorldNet Graduate December 2005 (Currently based in Kuwait)

After many years of seeking an appropriate Overseas Brokerage I came across WorldNet’s Recruitment Campaign via the International papers and enquired as to how they could assist in seeking a reputable Advisory firm which would meet my requirements of support and backing. I was delighted to meet the Staff at WorldNet who were ever so helpful and promptly guided me through a selection process and placed me on a week’s residential course in Framlingham.

The course content was extremely rewarding in many ways. Having already tripped out as an International Advisor for several years, I presumed that I knew everything until after the course, where I was so pleased with attending, as I gained more knowledge, friends and useful but all important do’s and don’ts.

This has all helped me out here to no end and am eternally thankful to WorldNet. I have now successfully been placed with a reputable and expanding firm in United Arab Emirates and am pleased to say have been writing sizeable business, more than I have ever done before. I have gained a lot of respect from my new clients, from all corners of the earth, from the information I deliver to them and the service I give.

Again, thanks to Sonia, Olena and the training team at WorldNet. In parting, I would say to anyone simply ‘thinking’ of going abroad to ‘Just Do It’ and reap the rewards, fun and a better life style the International Life has to offer. Good Luck!!

R Masters

WorldNet Graduate February 2004, MLIA(dip),ACIFMA, FPC,CMS (Currently based in Dubai)

It is with great pleasure that I give this Testimonial: I would like to thank WorldNet Recruitment & Training for giving me the opportunity to expand to my full potential in this industry. I came offshore at a time that the UK Financial Services Industry was in turmoil. They were able to place me with a first class organisation.

This was achieved by selective recruitment based on various factors that WorldNet Recruitment & Training were able to spot during their training course.

I am now currently in my sixth year offshore. I was promoted to Sales Director for the largest Asian Offshore Brokers last year and enjoying every minute.

G. Cuzzocrea

WorldNet Graduate December 1998 (International Sales Director for OFS(Asia)

I highly recommend the (WorldNet) induction training program for anyone in the financial industry, whether you’re a wealth manager, financial adviser, investment consultant or completely from a different industry. The course was packed with invaluable insights from industry veterans, each of whom brought decades of success and expertise to the table. Their real-world experience and practical advice have given me a new level of confidence in navigating the complexities of the financial market.

 

The training didn’t just focus on technical skills; it also prepared us for the unique challenges of working and living overseas. The program provided a holistic approach that covered everything from market dynamics to cultural adaptability, ensuring that we are fully equipped to excel in an offshore placement.

 

This program is a game-changer for anyone looking to take their career to the next level and make a global impact in the financial industry.

Muwamat

Great contact from Sonia and Nicole. Valuable information. Would recommend

Jack

2023 Delegate

WorldNet is an amazing place to nourish our knowledge through the training programme with experts in the Financial world. The Director and CEO, Sonia is so loving, caring and a motivational lady, who provides a pathway to broader financial markets

Sultana

2023 Delegate

The course was a good insight into financial services offshore, how it works and guidance on how to get started

Richard

2023 Delegate

Application process was quick and professional. Helpful and informative speakers. Would definitely recommend WorldNet’s services.

Richie

2023 Delegate

WorldNet provide a comprehensive package and unlike other offshore recruitment firms take the time to know the applicants and employers, highly recommended.

Edward

2023 Delegate

Very good for potential candidates to have that introduction into the industry and will recommend it for any starters.

Mustapha

2022 Delegate

A very insightful experience as to what it is actually like working abroad. Excellent guest speakers. Useful handouts. I would recommend.

Sajid

2021 Delegate

This course was fantastic! I have learnt so much about the range and opportunities in this industry. As well as learning and working alongside some really fantastic people, all in different sub sectors of the financial industry.

I can’t recommend this course enough.

Mark

2021 Delegate

I found the course very informative and vital in understanding the world of IFA and Wealth Management.

The course was very well organised, and I appreciated the information presented by all the speakers.

Shela

2021 Delegate

Course was well presented throughout with plenty of advice and information passed on by each of the speakers.

A frank and honest approach was taken by all. All in all, it was a sound introduction to the world of financial services, providing the platform from which to launch an exciting new career.

Clive

2020 Delegate

To beat financial global faults and complications, I feel like a doctor of wealth management, fully prepared to solve problems. I would recommend to all veterans.

Thank you, Sonia

Tevita

2020 Delegate

Sonia and WorldNet go above and beyond for her candidates by associating them with credible brokerages and she takes great interest in our training and development. It really does make you want to go through a brick wall for Sonia

Yathu

2020 Delegate

My time on this course has been eye opening. It has been short but very informative and transparent on what to expect in the financial sector. The training I have received on this course is second to none and I recommend it to anyone interested

Edward

2020 Delegate

I’ve recently had the pleasure of dealing with Sonia & her team at WorldNet in relation to a new job opportunity.

In my 25+ years in financial services, and in particular in a recent role I held in which I built a substantial wealth and asset management team in Asia, I’ve worked with many Executive Search Firms.

Sonia and the Team at WorldNet are thoroughly professional, and have deep and extensive industry experience and an extraordinary global industry network, all of which they bring to benefit the clients with whom they work. Their support & service was consistently excellent, highly tailored and responsive. The sense of trust & faith this engenders is fully warranted and deserved. I can attest that in my experience it’s rare to find an Agency of this quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sonia & the team at WorldNet.

Danny Howell

2020 Delegate

I attended the WorldNet training in December 2018 and I thought it was very insightful. I had little background in Wealth Management and the program that the team had put together really helped me learn a lot and develop a keen interest in the industry.

The training also offered the opportunity to meet people from the industry which allows you to network for future work opportunities.

Amalia Formoso

2019 Delegate

I was not working for about 12 months when Sonia reached out to me and mentioned that she has worked with IFA’s such as myself for over 20 years and had a few vacancies that may be of interest for me. I had told Sonia that due to my past experience with recruiters I would listen to what she has to say but all information would be taken with a pinch of salt. After an initial call with Sonia I had decided to take a dive and meet with Sonia in the UK.

Sonia found me a role in the Czech Republic which is what I wanted and ever since I joined this new company I have been 100% satisfied. I would recommend Sonia without any hesitation

Jonathan Angel

2018 Delegate

My experience with WorldNet has been, unequivocally, nothing short of life-changing. From my first encounter with Sonia Middleditch, she made me feel incredibly at ease and reassuringly allayed my reservations.

The outstanding level of hospitality shown throughout the course is indicative of Sonia’s commitment to genuinely helping new recruits secure their dream offshore placement. The course content itself was of a very high standard and I felt informed but not, crucially, overwhelmed.

With Sonia’s help, I have now secured an excellent role with a growing company in Geneva. Needless to say, I am very excited by the prospecting of starting a new life in Geneva. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Sonia. I will forever be grateful for having come across WorldNet. I employ anyone thinking about an offshore career as an IFA to look no further than WorldNet.

Samuel A

2018 Delegate

Despite having 14 years of experience within the financial services sector, I had never directly advised on investments or ever worked offshore.

After our first meeting Sonia assured me that she could help me fulfill my dream of working abroad.

I had quite specific requirements as to where in the world I would like to work and within a month of finishing the course I had formal offers from 2 different companies in 3 ideal destinations and am now happily working in the sun.

The whole process was smooth and I can’t fault Sonia or her very able assistant and would highly recommend their services to anyone.

 

Dan Ward

2017 Delegate, based in Majorca

I have to admit I was slightly apprehensive and dismissive about the opportunities abroad… it sounded too good to be true! However, nothing ventured, nothing gained, I thought. How true that sentiment is. My decision to engage with Worldnet has been nothing short of life changing. The professionalism and support available is invaluable.

The contacts gained, friendships made and career doors opened are key reasons why anyone looking at pursuing a position offshore in the advice sector should engage with Worldnet and the team.

My career path now takes me to Geneva and my sincere thanks and gratitude go to Sonia and her team for all their help. I cannot recommend Worldnet enough, give them a call and see for yourself.

 

Stephen Fyfe

2017 Delegate

When I was recommended to contact Sonia I was pleasantly surprised at the personal touch she has with all of her clients as well as the new candidates. I have used recruitment consultants in the past, but I have never had a personal interview before, where Sonia takes the time to discuss your requirements and tailor them to your needs.

 

After attending her course for the week I left feeling very confident that she would find me a position that would suit me.  Sonia’s  professionalism is second to none and I would have no hesitation in recommending her and WorldNet Consultants, to anybody looking to move abroad to work

Ian Sherlock

(WorldNet delegate 2016 in Vietnam)

I have been asked to write a personal review of my experience with Worldnet / Sonia Middleditch. Unfortunately, I was not offered any compensation for this.

Sonia has been successfully placing financial services consultants with selected employers globally for over twenty years and to do this she needs to get to know the applicants because she knows the requirements of all her partners, all of whom she also knows personally.

The first step, after applying to Worldnet with your CV and usual covering letter, is an interview, in my case nearly three hours, in which she describes her connections and process. She told me that I was completely different to the impression she got from my CV! There is a small fee, presumably to weed out time-wasters, the mentally-unstable, perverts and blackguards, this is to cover the cost of the offshore course. Before the course, I was asked to write more detail regarding my experience and to really consider what I wanted to do and where.

After much anticipation, I was unexpectedly extremely impressed with all the speakers on current developments in the financial services industry and even the professional and relaxed psychometric session on the final day. Sonia was present too, clearly she was eye-balling us candidates and later I realised she was using the results to synchronise with what her nose was telling her.

The finale of the Worldnet process is another session with Sonia as at the very beginning. She made three suggestions, but whilst the style was as if I had a choice, it was clear one contact she had was from the point of view of his requirement and mine by far the most interesting given all the factors to be taken into account. Presently I had a meeting with this person at a very exclusive location in Pall Mall, London and Sonia had hit the nail on the head. I had been told in detail what to expect and so it was, and I have no doubt that Sonia already knew how it would go.

I am looking forward to a long and successful relationship with this organisation.

For me Sonia is a gold nugget in the financial services recruitment field, professional, friendly and shrewd and I hope to be able to express my gratitude in a monetary form soon, although I have not mentioned this to her yet, since the next part is dependent on me of course, hard graft, because the only result of doing nothing will be nothing, with a little bit of luck too, which we all need.

I am happy to speak to anyone who requires further information.

Brown, Bernard

(WorldNet Delegate 2016 based in Spain)

I have found the services of WorldNet to be professional, friendly and highly relevant.

Sonia Middleditch is well versed in the overseas market and manages to utilise her profound knowledge of the marketplace to good effect.   Her PA reveals her proficiency in organising very helpful courses.   Speakers are top notch and Sonia’s ability to attract them speaks volumes about her good standing with prospective employers and technical specialists.

Essentially, WorldNet takes an interest in you as an individual;  you are treated as a person, not a statistic in a file

Peter Linnecar

(WorldNet Delegate 2016).

Thank you so much WorldNet for the course I attended in July 2014. First of all their hospitality was second to none and the course itself was extremely beneficial to all concerned, I felt very welcomed. The speakers were of the highest calibre and serve as valued connections. I found the course to be carried out with the utmost professionalism.

I feel much better prepared for my future role and excited at the prospects that are before me. I remain indebted to WorldNet for all their hard work and eagerly anticipate my new role in the coming year..

Simon L

WorldNet Graduate 2014

WorldNet Recruitment & Training has an exceptionally high standard of training delegates for the offshore finance industry and is a must for anyone to attend before going overseas to work, a credit to Sonia and the team.

Sonia and Hayley at WorldNet deliver a unique professional personal service for both client and broker.
Mike McGarvey

WorldNet Graduate 2012 (Currently based in South East Asia)

I would like to thank Sonia and Lynda for a fantastic week, not only did they present a professional and uplifting training course but also made me feel more than welcome. I like many financial advisers have felt the impact on our industry in this country and contacted WorldNet after a colleague of mine recommended Sonia, from the initial interview with Sonia I knew it was the right move.

The presenters were all interesting and beneficial and I met the broker who I will be working for in Dubai and came away from the course with a new direction in life, I really enjoyed the course and how it was run and made some good friends, I am looking forward to a new start and would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to working offshore.

The advice and training from WorldNet is invaluable, thanks again Sonia and Lynda.

Steve Jones

WorldNet Graduate 2011 (Currently based in Dubai)

It gives me great pleasure to give this testimonial to WorldNet Recruitment and Training.

I first contacted Sonia in 2006, after an awful experience working for a well known brokerage in Baku. I was more than impressed with the way Sonia reassured me not all offshore brokers were the same.
I was quickly put at ease through Sonia’s unique, friendly and professional manner and after an initial interview, found myself being placed with a brokerage in Bahrain within 2 days of our meeting, where I enjoyed 2 very good years.
However after a brief time back in the UK, I turned to WorldNet for help again and was quickly marketed through Sonia’s many contacts within in the world. I am now placed with the best brokerage in Asia, where I enjoy the many exciting opportunities within the Asian ex-pat market place and have as Sonia promised become part of the family.
I would more than recommend WorldNet Recruitment and Training to anyone who is seriously looking for a career in Offshore Financial Services, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime and thanks to Sonia and her team have achieved all the many expectations and promises made to me from our first meeting and will be forever in your debt, Thank you. I will endeavour to keep you posted of my progress in Shanghai and Beijing.

S Herry

WorldNet Applicant 2009 & 2006 (Currently based in Asia)

The course was excellent and the presenters were all beneficial, in their own way. Sonia and Olena looked after us wonderfully. It really did feel a privilege to be there and that you were being taken care of. There was a lot to take in, but it was done in a relaxed atmosphere with no added pressure.

Delighted and looking forward to my new start. It will be an absolute honour if Sonia invites me back to discuss my ‘success’ overseas!

Philip Anderson

WorldNet Graduate July 2006 (Currently based in Kuwait)

Attending the training course at WorldNet was a great experience. Being almost 25 at the time, I knew I had a lot to learn, but I was ready to absorb the product and sales training and learn more about expatriate life to enable me to focus on a particular country. I particularly enjoyed the personal development training by Richard Parramint from Positive Speech and learnt a lot about myself.

All the delegates from the group bonded instantly and we all still keep in touch. I found Sonia very approachable and she advised me which countries and markets would be more suitable, bearing in mind my age and gender. I now have a fabulous career ahead of me and I am very happy that both my husband and cat will also be joining me.
I have learnt that having a positive and determined spirit put me in good stead to securing a position with an excellent brokerage in the Middle East. I keep in touch with Sonia and Olena and am most grateful to them for all their help.

Amber Hopley

WorldNet Graduate May 2004 (Currently based in the Middle East)

The broad range of skills, knowledge and perspective of the presenters on the WorldNet training course provided a wholly rounded understanding of what would be required working offshore: the markets, culture and sales environment; the professional & personal techniques and awareness necessary to survive and thrive; all reinforcing that the ‘pot of gold’ was real and attainable – but endurance was the key.

Superb course! I gained a positive benefit – even when the initial impact was negative – because this proved there was more than one way to crack this “offshore” nut.
