"I thoroughly enjoyed the course and now feel ready to progress to the next step in my SQL journey. The course was well presented and our trainer was very encouraging and approachable. Thank you for an excellent experience!"
Bethan Morgan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Excellent course full of good know how and application. Our tutor was awesome and made what could have been two laborious days interesting and fun. To elaborate on the fun part, I do mean fun. The course came highly recommended and they were right."
Lisa Allsup
Caisson iO
"Found it easy to follow, liked being able to see trainer's screen and replicate at the same time. Enjoyed doing the exercises as that helped to cement the process."
Ellen Botto
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Overall a great course, the small number of participants made it more welcoming. The course booklets is probably one of the best if not better course materials I've ever received on a course."
Mick Gonsalves
Cambridgeshire Constabulary
"Our trainer did a great job, who went above and beyond my expectations. I thought the course was really useful and my knowledge with regards SQL has increased 10 fold."
Mike Dolan
Individuals
"I enjoyed the course and I thought that our trainer was fantastic. He delivered the training in a very structured manner and took the time to explain the use cases and context behind the different functions and formatting techniques. It was also great to bounce some personal excel issues off of him and get solutions."
Kieran Walton
Two Circles
"I found this course really useful and I like that the trainer is reactive to questions by diverting slightly off course to demonstrate an answer to the question. I also liked the fact that rather than just DAX the course showed how we could use the DAX Measures in the visuals. I am new to DAX and Power BI and wanted to get a better understanding of the basics before looking at what I can improve on going forwards."
Colin Watts
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Our trainer is so engaging and full of enthusiasm and support, never met a trainer like him!"
Rose Kenyon
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"Our trainer made the sessions really enjoyable. Loads of interaction and engagement. He clearly explained everything and I was able to understand. Couldn't ask for a better trainer."
Taiba Chaudhry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The trainer was amazing, content was spot on and I benefited much more than expected from the course. Very well presented, communication skills and flexibility with content was appreciated."
Samantha Bangs
Welcome Break
"Training was great. Our trainer is very knowledgeable and has a very good way of training people."
Amandine Catiau
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"Fantastic course, well delivered and very engaging!"
Suzie Beith
The Phoenix Group
"I really enjoyed my Excel course. The fact that the course was interactive and we followed along made it a lot more engaging than just being spoken to. Highly recommend!"
Laura Gallimore
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Our trainer was really helpful, very patient and managed to amend the course and requirements, as we went along."
Jennine Carpenter
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"A great trainer, thorough and kind."
Lauren Dunne
Landauer Group
"Our trainer was really engaging and clear in the delivery of the content. Manual is also clear for checking back on things. Colleagues have attended courses with you before and gave good feedback."
Lee Berry
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
"Very informative course and the Trainer was able to adjust the course based on the experience within the learners."
Margaret Herriot
The Phoenix Group
"The trainer was excellent - he took the time to "get to know the students", was warm and welcoming - was very patient when people were struggling with difficult concepts - it was a truly enjoyable experience (never thought i would say that about excel - lol!!!)"
Alex Mason
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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."
Nathan Rogers
Silverstone
"All contact pre-course was efficient and professional; our trainer was very knowledgeable and presented the course well. The course isn't particularly hard but does require concentration, so doing it over 2 days was quite intense and anyone coming on the course should bear this in mind and ensure that they are working in a suitable environment. "
