Rob Long's Education Works was established in January 2000 - a new business for the new millennium! Rob and Chris Long work in partnership. Our business objective is to provide high quality training, publications and other services which meet professional needs appropriately and effectively. We believe that our small business offers a more personalised service to people who are often having to deal with difficult and challenging situations. Our aim is to deliver quality products and services as simply and efficiently as possible.
