"Loved it & love that we can keep all our work and are encouraged to use what we learn on any real application, doesn't have to be work related, the trainers just wants us to learn. Was super informative and all the trainers were so lovely."
Fionn Denvir

"I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience following the recent advanced Excel training session conducted for our team. From start to finish our trainer's expertise and teaching style exceeded all our expectations. His deep knowledge of Excel is truly impressive as is his ability to convey complex concepts in an understandable and engaging manner, which made the training not only informative but also enjoyable. He demonstrated a remarkable talent for breaking down intricate functions and formulas, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their starting skill level, could grasp the material confidently. The practical examples and hands-on exercises provided were incredibly helpful, allowing us to immediately apply what we learned to real-world scenarios. This training has undoubtedly equipped us with valuable skills and new insights that will significantly enhance our productivity and efficiency. Thank you for this amazing training session! It has truly been valuable!"

"Great content in the course. We were given the opportunity to perform exercises which personally I think is the best way to learn. Our trainer was always on hand to answer any questions and made the course interesting and knew when it was time to break! Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, thanks."

"An amazing trainer who kept the course interesting and engaging. I feel in a really good place after the course to begin working with Power BI more regularly and have a much better understanding of DAX, which I knew hardly anything about prior."
Laura Loades
Adidas UK
"The course was exceptionally well-delivered, and as a group, we thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. Our trainer was very personable and approachable and his deep knowledge of DAX and Power BI made the content much easier to grasp. We particularly appreciated how he tailored the course to our needs, addressed the examples we provided, and kept the session interactive to reinforce the concepts. The pacing was for us as a group was spot-on, allowing ample time for questions and hands-on practice... and a cuppa ;) Overall, we would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to enhance their Power BI and DAX skills. The trainer was brilliant - his expertise, clear communication, and engaging teaching style made all the difference in making our course both informative and enjoyable. We have undertaken previous courses with yourselves which were similarly well-received by colleagues."

"The trainer was fantastic. He was great fun and made us feel confident that we could achieve anything. He was very accommodating and always took the time to explain things clearly."
Darren Higgins
Linney Group Ltd
"The trainer was great. He explained the basics really clearly and was super helpful if we ever got stuck on something, and went at a good pace so that we could keep up without getting bored. The examples were both fun and relevant to the kinds of things we might want to do at work (like feeding information through from a pop-up box, error checking etc.). The course manual is also really impressive. I would definitely recommend this course."
Jenny Roberts
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
"I thought the course was superb. The content delivery and the accessibility to all was really impressive, having the exercises to work through during the course helped consolidate the knowledge. The content was really easy to follow and if we were ever stuck, were given the confidence to feel like we could ask for help. I have been on multiple different training courses with different providers and I can honestly say the course was delivered by the best trainer I have ever had. The passion he has for teaching and helping others learn was clearly on show and was so refreshing and great to see. Throughout both days he made you feel so welcome and that no question was a stupid question, he was always there to help and guide you through any problems we had and overall he was just amazing, I couldn't have asked for any more and he went above and beyond my expectations for the course and what I would gain from it. "
