The following reviews are taken from Microsoft training classes that we have run for companies in the Financial and professional services sector recently.
A very well structured course which was clearly explained. The manual is very helpful and the trainer is a great and patient instructor. The exercises are helpful in practicing the knowledge gained through the training.

A good introductory course during which the trainer took time to address queries. The provided reference material is comprehensive and a good range of subjects was covered. I feel I've learnt a lot and know where to refer to in future should I need further information.

Graham Wright

I liked all the exercises, the USB stick that contained all course material and exercise answers - allowing easy referal post-course , meals out, location and the detailed exercises and manuals. The exercises didn't just cover what we'd been taught and so we were able to refer to the manual for the extra information/instructions. I would really recommend this course.
