A busy June at the NRC

June 7, 2022 Antonia

June is a busy month at the NRC, and has already seen theory examinations for all courses from the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO). During the rest of June, the NRC will host practical examinations for ABDO which will also continue into July.

ABDO has chosen the NRC for its exams venue due to its central location, combined with a flexible set up and great support from the staff team. The NRC has excellent public transport links and can offer parking for examiners.

Alongside the ABDO exams, this week also sees Specsavers Hearcare on the fifth floor. The team is also preparing for a large event next week.

If you are looking for an exam venue in Birmingham, you can contact the team at the NRC on 0121 7527500 or enquiries@abdonrc.org.uk and discover more about the services on offer.

A warm and modern, well-situated venue, staffed with highly amiable, consummate professionals. The NRC never fails to elevate workshops, ensuring the best experiences and outcomes for a team. I always look forward with anticipation to my time here and I certainly would not hesitate to recommend it as a venue.

Very good space and facilities here. Attended a dry eye course and pleased with the environment, equipment and clinic rooms.

We have used the meeting facilities at ABDO on numerous occasions. The staff are extremely warm, welcoming and accommodating (huge shout out to Mat Stringer, nothing is too much trouble). The facilities are excellent and the rooms are always set up exactly as requested. I would have no hesitation in recommending this as a meeting venue.

Had an amazing couple of days at the NRC for the FQE practical revision event. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and approachable and I feel a lot better about the upcoming exams. The layout and aesthetics of the building are incredible. However, the highlight of my day was the lush lunch packs that we got for both days, amazing! Special shout out to Matt Stringer who provided me with a goody bag full of left over cakes!

Held our first conference here on Monday running five simultaneous streams of education. The venue is great with easy parking but above all, the staff are excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and the day ran flawlessly. Big thanks to Matt and the team.

I have been a delegate using this centre for the last 4 years, year on year for a variety of reasons and events. Regardless of type of event, reasons for the event, the consensus is it is adaptable for the requirements of the individuals, businesses and sponsors. The location is brilliant. You have several nearby hotels within a 1 mile radius for overnight stay whilst also not being far from various methods of transport including the M6, Birmingham train station, Birmingham Airport and other connecting Motorways such as the M5 and M42. They have several floors available to be tailored to your requirements, with a very modern hot drinks dispensing machine for you and your delegates attending and equally technogically advanced for your needs of your meetings and/or conferences. Mat Stringer and his team are the brains behind the operations and he will go the extra mile to ensure you're welcome and you're set up for the day, even if you're having technical difficulties, he is there. It takes just one phone call or email to have that discussion which will revolutionise how you hold conferences for you and your businesses.
