Toby Lawrence
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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)
"Our trainer explained things so clearly and was so patient when I got a bit behind. An excellent trainer."
Allison Orchard

"The course was really engaging and the tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the content at the right pace. The paper workbooks were great as I could make notes for each section. "
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I found the trainer really dynamic, patient and chatty, and he explained all the content very well and made it interesting to work through by providing a database on films that was invigorating to work through."
George Wherry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A really great teacher."
Orla Emberson
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)

"Great course - exactly the right level for me. Fantastic trainer."
Sally Frost
Department for Education
"Amazing courses! Great trainer, pace and content. I literally couldn't have asked for better introductions to SQL and Power BI. Plus I have some many great resources to refer back to in the future :) Thank you!"
Simone Capp
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A brilliant trainer - really fantastic!! Being brand new to Power BI, I was a bit worried. Thanks to the trainer, I felt I could understand the principles of what was happening, which was great."
Oliver Harvey
Department for Education
"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)
"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"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
