This introductory course focuses on how to write programs in Visual Basic (called VB by its friends, and also VB.NET). Forget about the user interface (this two-day course does), but learn instead how to use conditions, loops, error-trapping and all of the other standard VB programming techniques.

Sample customer feedback

"The trainer was very competent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well done!"

Sandro Fasolo (Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust)

"The course content and delivery are excellent. The exercises are relevant to our needs. The trainer is very clear, engaging, approachable, knowledgeable and he delivers the material at a good pace. I found the VBA course very useful and I highly recommend it. "

Chun-Yee Cheng (HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMICFRS))

"Very good, instructive course with good pacing and good atmosphere. Chose through a recommendation from Guide Dogs for the Blind."

Christopher Holt (Woodland Trust)

"The Introduction to SQL course was really good, it covered all the basics and there was a wide range of examples shown by the trainer, as well as exercises from the Exercise booklet. The trainer was very knowledgeable in the subject and answered questions throughout the course on topics not covered on the course itself. On the Advanced SQL I really like how everything is explained and the trainer checking how everyone is getting on with exercises."

Zhang-Lei Rushton (Whitespace Work Software Ltd)

"Great introduction to SQL. The trainer paced it just right and explained things very well and patiently. The training manual and exercises were very helpful."

Rizwana Nasreen (Royal Sun Alliance (RSA Group))

Although it's not a pre-requisite, you'll find this course much easier if you've already done some programming in another language.
