"I thought the course was excellent - well structured, thorough and engaging with good use of worked examples throughout. The manual is very thorough and I appreciate the quality of the physical edition (and the lovely pen!)"
Callum Kirk
Sellafield Ltd
"I think the course was great and the trainer's approach/personality really helped make it feel like a friendly and encouraging environment. I really enjoyed his energy and a lot of the little tips/tricks that were shared along the way, such as things like Alt H O I, Ctrl shift L, and many more that everyone in the room could really take away and use every day. My personal favourite takeaway and learning was power query, which was awesome and I'm already starting to think of ways to implement this in my day-to-day. Thanks so much for a super couple of days!"
George Salter

Juliette Summerfield
Volumatic Ltd
"A great trainer! The course moved at the perfect pace ensuring we were following the content but covering a vast amount within 2 days."
Victoria Wilson
MLCS3 Ltd
"I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was the first excel course I’ve ever been on that was pitched at completely the right level. The tutor was very knowledgeable and took time to answer any queries we had. She checked in with us on our existing knowledge and then built on it. The practice tasks and the materials you go away with will mean I have the ability to regain knowledge on any tasks I don’t immediately start using. The snacks were also appreciated!"

Gary Woodcock

"Loved every single part of it. The knowledge which was displayed by our trainer was worth every moment. If we decide to purchase other products you offer training on, would 100% recommend to our department and company wide. Best training session we have received to date. Nothing too much hassle either and always willing to get involved."

"I found the content really useful. Each topic was covered thoroughly and the pace was perfect to allow me to feel fully confident before moving on"
Sophie Smith
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"I just wanted to highlight the excellent job our trainer did leading the course. Despite it being fully remote, it was an engaging session where everyone felt they could speak up, ask their questions and get the help they needed. I almost felt like we were all sitting in a room together. It was a friendly atmosphere, and I really enjoyed my 2 days. Our trainer was knowledgeable, open and friendly - thank you! "
Ellie Hortop
PwC
"Trainer was very enthusiastic and engaging. He was very pleasant and also willing to spend more, or less time, on whatever we felt was the most valuable for our jobs. This flexibility was really appreciated."
Callum Morley
PwC
"The course was great! Our trainer was very engaging and patient with questions and he was enthusiastic throughout the day. All the tips and tricks were so useful and I am certainly going to use these in my job going forward. I am also very grateful to him for spending half of the lunch break with me helping me with a macro problem on a workbook that I use in my job. He took to time to go through the macros with me and explained how they worked. It was beyond what he was meant to do but it has helped my team out hugely by fixing it. During the course it was clear our trainer had a great deal of knowledge of Excel but helping me with the macro problem was amazing and he clearly knows Excel very well. The course also came highly recommended from colleagues."
