"The whole experience was very positive. Clear pre-course communication and remote working assessment was great. An excellent trainer, interactive, positive and patient. Handled individual delegate issues quickly and without causing undue delay to others."
Mario Yeomans
Sellafield Ltd
"Great course. The trainer was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. Online course format worked well and the way the trainer viewed our screens meant he was able to give us hints/advice if we'd made any typos/errors, without holding the other delegates up."
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"Pitched at the right level and very good trainer. Useful having the manual and exercises to refer to after the course."
Dave Wouldham
Volac International Ltd
"This course was exactly what I needed to get up to speed on PowerBI, and I now feel confident in working with it in my role. The offer of continued help from the trainer if we were to e-mail was greatly appreciated too. I had never used PowerBI before and needed something that took me from newbie to reasonable user in a short timeframe, and this ticked all the boxes."
Scot Hickinbottom
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"Our trainer was an excellent provider. The course although quite fast paced, had excellent workbooks and manuals provided and the opportunity to ask questions meant that no one got left behind."

Joanne Brown-Barnes
Network Plus
"A fantastic trainer and so knowledgeable; he was able to answer every query and even spent time looking further into more complex issues for us. He works at a very good pace, is friendly, welcoming and puts you at ease. The exercises work very well and the approach to these is excellent, with our trainer leaving us to work on them unless we ask for help."

Many thanks."
