"Fantastic course and our trainer was amazing! The way the course ran with the use of remote desktop and the trainer being able to ensure you were following the right steps worked really well and ensured no one was left behind. I learnt so much from the course that I can't wait to apply into my day to day role!"
Laura Murphy
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"The course was really useful and informative. I liked how it was interactive, and you could code/experiment as you went along. I also found the exercises a useful way to continue to solidify what you learnt."
Liz Gabriel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"An excellent teacher and trainer. The course content was specifically tailored to suit our needs and he did a wonderful job teaching us it and further enlightening us on a number of topics. I can't recommend him highly enough."
Thomas Crozier

"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The tutor was lovely and very friendly. The course covered all topics but also was an opportunity to ask questions and look at some areas more than others."
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The course was delivered at the right pace and covered a sufficient level of details. Our trainer was excellent at explaining the functionality as we worked through each exercise."
Richard Franklin

"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"I really enjoyed the course and the way it was set out - one of the most enjoyable and useful training sessions I've done. A lot of content was covered at a good pace with options to ask questions. I really like the way the course is interactive and easy to keep up."
Zahra Bashir

"An amazing trainer and really helped with engaging with the course. I loved the follow along aspect which made sure that we kept focus - I learned so much."

Oliver Harvey
