EDUCATION AND TRAINING SECTOR

The following reviews are taken from Microsoft training classes that we have run for companies in the Education and training sector recently.

We asked for a tailored course & we got it! The flexibly presented content was adapted to our needs as we went along.

Ruth Toone

Jobcentre Plus

Everything about the (Excel VBA Macros) course was absolutely first class. The facilities and materials were outstanding, and the trainer was excellent. I've gained an awful lot from the course, and have already implemented some of the things I've learned in some of our existing reports and systems. The knowledge and skills will be invaluable over the next few months as we develop SRO systems in the new University.

University of Manchester

Excellent course. Perfectly pitched, well delivered and lunch included. Everything I wanted to learn was included. Highly recommended.

Rathbone Training

Once again, having previously attended SQL training with Wise Owl, I found the course and manuals extremely good. Doing exercises was very beneficial as these really help to understand the subject. The USB to take away is fantastic because it allows us to continue to develop skills learnt on the course.

Wendy Jayne Lovatt

Information Advisor

NW Learning Planning Performance

Learning and Skills Council

The trainer on the course I attended (Microsoft Visio) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject with very good delivery. The course was easy to understand and good, structured information was supported by good materials. It was held in a great venue and we will definitely use Wise Owl again.

Well weighted for me, learnt some useful techniques and didn't feel patronised.

Serco

The content of the course was pitched correctly. There was enough flexibility with this to incorporate all skill levels. Very useful even though I have used Publisher for some time.

Mandy Daisley

Palmer's College

The course was well thought-out and the trainer very experienced and friendly. The venue was also excellent.

Christopher Melia

St Matthews R.C. High School

An excellent course. I'll use almost all of the course content in my job. The exercises were helpful in consolidating learning. The trainer also included exercises that were relevant to our work.

Anita Holcroft

Learning and Skills Council

I was made to feel at ease by the trainer early on in the course and therefore felt that I could ask more questions! The Access course was tailored to our needs which was great. I was impressed by all aspects of the course which was very informative. Please send more details of other courses available.

Louise Rowson

Altrincham Grammar School for Boys

Very good quality. No prior knowledge was assumed and content was clear and straight to the point.

John Leese

Educational Technologist

Stoke On Trent College

This was a fab course which I enjoyed. I am looking forward to practicing what I have learnt using the manuals supplied.

Suzanne Steele

Southampton Solent University

I actually feel quite confident about using Access now after attending this course which I don't normally do after training courses!

Jan Whalen

JRUL Systems

University of Manchester

I think it is good that it was a small group as everyone got to ask their own questions.

Helen Toller

Senior Admin Assistant

Quality Enhancement Department

The course manuals are very good. The ability to take data and reports away on a USB is very useful.

David Niemczenko

Stephenson College

A brilliant course. Completely fulfilled our expectations. We all learned so much.

Janet Connor

Leigh Primary School

The course admin, manuals and content are all excellent. I use the Wise Owl SQL manual (from an earlier course) regularly and expect to refer to the Excel one frequently.

Sue Lowe

Data Quality Steward

Learning and Skills Council

I was very impressed! From booking online to receiving the joining instructions and then the course itself, everything was very clear and professional. The manuals are well written and useful and the trainer was excellent.

Victoria Booker

Human Resources Dept.

Birkbeck College

Excellent course which matched our requirements perfectly. A very helpful and knowledgeable trainer. The documentation is great, including identifying the bugs I work around. Thanks.

David Marubbi

Very nice venue - accessible and comfortable surroundings. Trainer very good and would recommend the (Publisher) course.

Kathryn O'Brien

External Relations

Bolton School

The trainer's knowledge, presentation style and adaptability was second to none. I have never before been on a course where I have been so constantly engaged.

Alison Purves

Palmer's College

Very clear and pertinent manual, which will be used later. The trainer checked that content and speed of course was OK, which was good to do.

Angela Moore

Stephenson College

The manual is like a bible, fantastic. Content - again, perfect, just the right amount. Admin arrangements - great maps and the admin staff were very helpful on the phone too

Matt Cox

Deputy Admin Officer

Quality Enhancement Department

University of Derby

The course was very easy to follow and the trainer was happy to go over other aspects I was interested in, even thought it was not on the agenda.

Kay Staines

Palmer's College

Great course that I would highly recommend. Although I am an experienced user I still picked up key concepts that I did not know.

Mizanur Islam

Project Accountant, Finance

Newham Sixth Form College (NewVIc)

Great course. Personable and responsive trainer, keen to give us maximum value and go 'off piste' to help with real life issues.

Andrew Spreckley

AQA

A lovely venue, warm welcome and informative trainer. The course was managed at our pace with ample opportunity to customise the agenda to fit our organisations requirements. A worthwhile day out of the office.

Helen Bennett

Brilliant, well organised and a nice pace.

Claire Gardener

An excellent two days. The learning took place in a relaxed, friendly environment and catered for all levels. The course manual and exercises are very professional. Exercises kept everyone happy no matter what level.

Fantastic manuals, as always. It's really useful to have data on the pen drive and the results of the exercises. From previous experience, knew I would get a high quality course from Wise Owl.
