What Our Customers Say

Excellent course and trainer. I think this course would benefit all manager/middle manager personnel in the organisation to enable a greater appreciation and awareness of individual needs and why in certain circumstances people behave as they do. The structure of the course was excellent. The trainer clearly has great presence and ability to allow individuals to interact in a positive way to bring out the most appropriate comments for further discussion and debate.

I would recommend the course to others, insightful focus on behavioural matters in the context of Project Management. Well structured, informal but pace kept up, trainer knowledge and engagement was excellent, some valuable techniques to take back to the workplace. The Case Study was very good – a clever way of drawing out the people skills required in project management.

Very interesting and thought provoking. Sponsors are probably doing many of the activities without recognizing that they are carrying out sponsorship activities. However I think there was a realization that the sponsors are actually responsible for delivering the benefits of the project.

Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend this course, it was a good mix between discussion and sharing of good practice/expectations. This was ideal for what we needed. Discussion was specific to our organisation and the material/delivery encouraged this debate.

I would recommend the course to others as an initiation to project sponsorship. The trainer was very well-informed and was not phased by any of the discussions the material teased out. The course content was an introduction to sponsorship as there were some complete beginners in the group. I found the structure plain and simple and the explanations easy to follow. The content sent out the right messages about responsibility and accountability which was the main focus for our company. Overall the session was very useful.

Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend the course, I felt the course was very comprehensive. The trainer went a at good pace and due to number restrictions was able to provide 1:1 support and guidance as needed. I enjoyed how the trainer demonstrated a particular element and then we had a go. I found the course very helpful and I came away feeling confident that I could actually do some things in excel! I found the whole course to be very informative and the trainers approach was great.

Excellent course and trainer, I would recommend it, very clear explanation, very friendly and competent teacher. I found understanding the master structure behind the slides one of the most useful elements.

I would recommend the course, provided a lot of detail regarding different formulas and functions for everyday use. Lesson had a good balance of teaching and then practice exercises. Every lesson we had was followed by practice exercises which really helped us put the formulas and functions into practice.

I would recommend the course, very down to earth trainer who helped make the course relevant and useful for our job roles. We were quite an excitable group of graduates but she managed to keep us engaged. Really helpful, endless shortcuts I almost didn’t attend the session when reading the list of what was covered as I thought I already knew how to do them. I was surprised how much I could learn and how much I didn’t know.

So helpful, learnt a lot, brilliant trainer. Ran well, good content and engaging. Really liked the practical aspects. Trainer is brilliant.

Very useful, even if you think you know it all, there will definitely be some shortcuts and tips that will save you hours of time in the long run. Fantastic session! Relaxed, enjoyable and informative. Learning plenty of useful shortcuts for the F keys

I would recommend the course, theory taught in an intuitive way with good examples to back it up. Really enjoyed the session. It was taught very well and followed on from where Excel 2 left off. The shortcuts and examples were very good.

Yes, I would recommend the course, Lisa was very clear in her explanations and very easy to talk to. The examples were easy to follow in order to understand how each function worked. Everything was done in a step by step process, so it was easy to follow and understand

Excellent course and trainer, I would recommend the course as Lisa always adds beyond the course, by teaching you many shortcuts which will save so much time at work!

I would recommend the course to others, it’s a perfect overview to project management and the tools required to get you started. It was engaging, I really enjoyed the interactivity of the course and it was useful to do the example ‘project’ to see how some of the planning tools are used in practice. I found the information on the different types of tracking logs you can use, and the programs behind them really useful. Lovely venue, I liked that the training sessions were small as you get more of a hands on approach.

I would definitely recommend the course. With the knowledge the course gives, the user would be able to use Excel with greater efficiency. Excellent course.

Excellent course and trainer. Yes I would recommend it, this is a strong overview of Project Management. The day’s course was very well managed. Mike had total control of the day. For me as a total beginner to Project Management this gave a great in site to the terminology, time-lines, estimating and thinking outside the box

I would recommend the course, very helpful and provides a good in depth knowledge of types of ways to be influencing and assertive. Well ran and interactive, the interactive nature was useful.

Excellent course and trainer, I would recommend it. I found the course very engaging as well as very informative. I acquired several tips that I will put into practice in the workplace and my personal life. I enjoy the different exercises to break the day up, it kept me engaged throughout the whole session. What I found most useful were the different tactics used and explained. This way if one technique didn’t work for me personally, several other options were explored.

Colin was very engaging with the group; encouraging interactions; role playing and challenging views on how to react / relate to uncomfortable situations. The course covered the majority of areas on where assertiveness and influencing skills would come into play; whether it be in the work place or in day to day life. It was very informative, encouraging and confidence building. I certainly came away with useful tips and a much more developed self awareness (self-esteem) and a positive outlook on how to handle uncomfortable situations in the future. Everything went smoothly; venue, scheduling; training – all worked perfectly well.

I would recommend the course, it has had an impact on my relationships at work. Delivery of the training was excellent and very interactive.

The course was very interactive and tailored to my colleagues and my needs. I liked the pace of the course and the handouts we were given. I thought the course was well run and loved the interactive nature of the course. I have learnt a lot but feel i could benefit from more training. It was very professional.

Excellent course and trainer. I would absolutely recommend the course, it was well structured, instructions and teaching very clear and professional. Session was well timed for the contents we covered – managed to cover everything including the tasks and have enough break times in between. What I found most useful was pivot tables and data validation tool, also the quick keys/commands tips! Venue was nice and had all the facilities you could need, people and staff at reception were friendly.

Excellent course and trainer. I have already recommended the course to a few of my colleagues as I think that its a good refresher/ base to start from if your a bit rusty on Excel and want to brush up on the basics. Susan was really good at demonstrating and then helping you to work at out challenges given, instead of showing you how it was done – I found this really helpful. A really good interactive session with a small class of four and felt this gave every learner in the room the opportunity to get one to one time with Susan which I find important when being given training. I liked that the class was given an example of what the next exercise was going to be based on before opening a work booklet to get given a similar problem to work on, I really liked this as it wasn’t just copying off the board.

Excellent course and trainer. I found the course to be very educational without being an overload of information. I think the ratio of people training to trainer to be very good as this meant Susan could offer support to everyone in the room. The written material provided was well present and is a fab idea to be able to have as a take home. I think it was good that the group was given material to work through to keep it interactive. I found it good that this material was different to what was being shown by Susan.

I would recommend this as I was lucky enough to have a class of four people including myself, that meant the session was more intense and Susan had time to spend with each of us. I liked the way we were shown an example and then given a similar exercise to practice and work out for ourselves – I found this better than copying somebody as it made you work it out for yourself. Susan was lovely and very patient and helpful. The building and facilities were pleasant. Reception were helpful.

Yes, I would recommend the course – it was extremely beneficial, and taught really well. The trainer was extremely kind and friendly but also very patient, which is what you need if you are learning something like excel. The session timings were great, well paced and had a good level of interaction with the trainer. The shortcuts were probably the best parts, even though you can google them, there are some things you would never think have a shortcut!

Great introductory course to Macros. Susan is a very good teacher and made it very easy to follow. Class size was ideal so we could all ask questions to help us fully understand what we were doing. I’d definitely recommend the course to my colleagues. The Beehive is a stunning building! Class room space was perfect for our group. The reception lady was very friendly too.

I would recommend the course, it was very well structured. Brief demonstration by Susan on Excel followed by practice exercises straight after was definitely a good approach to better understanding and applying the freshly learned skill. Susan is very friendly and knowledgeable. Susan is very energetic, communicative and involved. She made the course easy to digest and time passed quickly. The structure, the size of the group so the teacher was very engaged with us and could answer all the questions.

I would recommend the course, increases awareness of issues and useful techniques.

Yes I would recommend the course – it helps with awareness of techniques and scenarios where assertiveness is useful. Good overall.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two days and have taken so much away from it, the content and delivery was spot on. I would recommended this course to anyone who is starting out in training or has been involved with training for some time. For anyone getting into training this course gives you the tools to start becoming an effective trainer. For anyone who has been involved in training for sometime this will rejuvenate them and enable them to bring fresh ideas to their delivery. The structure of the course was brilliant, I went with the idea I would present and then learn. Having the opportunity to understand and learn different techniques and apply these to your delivery/structure/slides before delivery was a perfect way of learning for me. As I stated above the opportunity to understand and learn different techniques and apply these to your delivery/structure/slides before delivery was a perfect way of learning for me. I believe this did benefit everyone in the group. I have honestly racked my brain to try and provide some constructive feedback on things that could be better but I am unable to do so. The venue was easy to find and parking was available, the venue its self was an interesting place the foyer area and break out areas were great facilitates, nice lunch & clean. The communication prior to us attending was good, no overkill on the emails which I find to be annoying sometimes.

Yes I would recommend this to others. The training enable me to ‘think outside the box’ showed me news ways of working and delivering, gave me coping mechanisms to put in place if things go wrong. I think this is an ideal course for Trainers to refresh their delivery styles too. Loved it!! An exceptional two days – I learnt so much. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the trainer encouraged us to answer questions, prompted us to expand on answers and was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the training cycle. The whole course was extremely useful for me, having not delivered training before. Every aspect of the content was very helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed both days. I feel more confident to deliver training now. The venue is fantastic! Light and airy

Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend the course, really good intro to VBA

Yes I would recommend the course, it is done in a way that is easy for people to pick up with no prior experience and uses each stage as a building block. The later stages showed processes that could definitely be used in the workplace. The trainer was great, made it enjoyable and she was very helpful.

This course was a great insight to MS Project. I have only had a quick look at MS Project before I started my new role at WTW and this course was a great in-depth look what the system can do and the reports it can run. It was also really good to have the course outline and then make it specific to our company as we went through the course. We spent more or less time on an area of the course as appropriate. And as the course had just 2 people from our company involved it was really good to change for us only. Susan’s knowledge was excellent so she knew how to get the best of the training programme to meet our requirements. I feel confident to be able to now go and have a go at creating and maintaining a project plan. The venue is really good, good location to get to, good parking facilities and cafe for lunch. Would certainly look to use it again.

Excellent course and trainer. Yes, I would recommend the course. Susan is great and makes the whole day engaging. It is also a good balance and watching her go through examples and practising methods yourself. Overall a great course. I was familiar with content covered in the morning but was able to learn some useful skills/techniques in the afternoon. The low ratio of 4 attendees to one instructor made sure everyone got help when they needed it. Learning about macros was most useful .

Excellent course and trainer. I really enjoyed this course. It was great to see demonstrations on how it all worked then to have a go ourselves. Susan was very clear and approachable which meant I was happy to ask questions when they arose. I liked the fact that it was a small course as it felt more personal and meant you were more engaged.

I would recommend the course, pitched at just the right level for Non Financial personnel to understand how to interpret the basics. Ted made what could be regarded as a ‘dry subject’ interesting, engaging, relevant to the attendees needs and expectations and dare I say ‘fun’.

What I found most useful was exploring actual scenarios with colleagues. Commitment to develop a charter of good practice – hope this happens and is promoted regularly throughout the company.

Excellent course and trainer. Course content was extremely interesting but too compressed , would benefit from being a 2 day course

Excellent course and trainer. Really good exchange – Really good example shared.

I would recommend the course. A great course if you’ve never dealt with this stuff before, but a good reminder & refresh for someone with more experience.

Excellent course and trainer. If your role in the company would be to train other people, I would really recommend it. All details are covered and compared with the way you are leading your trainings. Together Chris will try how he can help you and his focus is on the participants. The session is very structured and we really had to give him all our input. Each example we gave him, he tried to put in a bigger picture and showed us how we can deal with it better in the future. If some thing were more important to us, we would go deeper in those topics.

I would recommend the course, it was extremely informative on how to approach different circumstances whilst training including how to deal with difficult people. Chris was extremely informative and friendly and adapted the sessions to address specific issues that both of us wanted to go through. Going through a training plan for the courses you are carrying out, learning how to make an effective training plan has helped to structure our training sessions going forward.

I would recommend the course, very informative a swell as giving you the knowledge which in turn gives you the confidence to carry the procedures out.

Excellent course and trainer. Very clear instruction from the trainer, very interactive. Good course if you have an existing working knowledge of basic functions in excel. Sections covered provided new knowledge which will make reporting and my use of excel easier in the future. Great training session. I had a good knowledge of Excel but found this training has broadened that existing knowledge and provided me with tools and tips I can use in my everyday work. I found Conditional Formatting the most useful aspect, I knew little about this before the course and now have a good understanding of how it works and how I can use it. I liked that the course was interactive with a demo then the students trying for themselves.

I would recommend this course as this provides you with an overview which refines techniques of using Excel and broadens understanding to improve upon existing processes. I found the trainer was very helpful and clear when explaining how things should be done and why different techniques are needed to avoid issues. I found this course improved my knowledge of Excel in how to best show data which should be a great asset moving forward. After taking Excel Module 2, I am now eager to sign up for training for Excel Module 3.

Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend the course. The training is good as you’re given skills and tips in order to process data. The trainer was very understanding and patient. They were very happy to answer questions and go the extra mile if you needed to know anything in depth to which isn’t specifically on the agenda.

Very informative and friendly setting, no one was put on the spot to answer questions which I liked. Susan was very helpful and gave her attention to everyone. the content was great I learned a lot of things I was not expecting to but found useful. I liked the training booklet. When Susan was showing us examples they were different to the work set in the booklet to help you apply what she taught in different situations which I found better than just copying the same information. I like that there is support for 6 months after the course so if things do crop up I can email or ask a question on LinkedIn. No improvements as such small group of learners so everyone got lots of 1-1 time with Susan if needed. Very interesting venue.

I would recommend the course, I found it very informative and easy to follow. Really great, it was my second course that I attended. Friendly atmosphere and lots of help provided. I like how Susan shows us how to do a task and then when we do the practical its based on different figures and scenarios so you learn better as your not just copying what Susan did blindly.

Excellent course and trainer, most defiantly would recommend to my colleagues. Material was well presented, venue and course are great

For sure I would recommend the session – lots of useful tips and the course was heavily tailored towards the audience. Great course – Susan has lots of enthusiasm and breaks things down into easily accessible pieces and then takes the time to explain, also managing to cater for the various levels of Excel experience of the attendees. The section on nested formulas – I always over-complicate my nested formulas so seeing a simplified version and focusing on building this was extremely handy. Also the Formula Wizard – this will definitely be used for any new function I use!

Excellent course and trainer. Yes, I would recommend it, the small insights to how the programme can work were brilliant. The trainer explained things brilliantly, very clear and concise. The knowledge of the trainer was second to none. Venue was very good.

I would definitely recommend this course. To gain knowledge of the tools explained on the course would make your work far more efficient and enable you to report or present your work more effectively. The Tutor’s delivery was highly professional with a good balance of humour whilst maintaining a great command of the class, driving the training by keeping everyone focused throughout the day… very impressive! What I found most useful was linking information by working with tables to only then update the single source of information before refreshing, and all the graphs and pivot tables to summarise outputs for reporting purposes. With regards to improvements, the day had sufficient well timed breaks, and overall, I thought flowed really well. I received clear instructions of the location well in advance. The venue was very conveniently located with easy (free) parking and no stress or hassle before starting the session. I hadn’t previously visited the Beehive building which has so much to admire within. What a fantastic training venue!!

I would recommend the course, a good insight into Excel. I found everything about the course useful. Excellent venue and administration.

I would definitely recommend the course. To those who have very limited computer knowledge this course really helps you build confidence working with spreadsheets and formulas which you could use at work or even at home. The session was well thought out and run at a good pace with Susan explaining the different functions of. Excel. The Hand out work practice sheets was also a good way of learning on your own, if you did have any issues Susan was there to give you one to one coaching. The most useful part for me was just gaining more confidence working with the Excel programme which I am now going to take home and practice making my own spreadsheet for daily tasks. From a work point of view I can now use these recent skills to go for any future promotion. The Venue was first class and catered for all are needs refreshments, cleanliness, free parking etc.

I would recommend the course, there was a lot of content covered and Susan was very happy to focus in on keys areas of the course as we required. Priorities and areas of focussed considered for all delegates. Content put in to practise on live examples. Susan was more than happy to work on some challenges directly with us there and then. Susan is clearly very knowledgable and happy to support with all queries. Together we were able to work through some challenges in order to resolve. Susan also allows you to try things out and approach things in different ways but ensuring you are kept on track and thins are kept neat and tidy!

I would recommend the course, very good course. Tony was extremely professional. He had also spent some considerable time and effort setting up a computer network in the training room. Very well done. The overall training experience was very good. The trainer Tony was very well prepared. His knowledge of Linux is excellent. Due to this course my understanding and appreciation of Linux is much improved. The Venue is excellent. The car parking is very adequate and the administrative staff seem very efficient.

I would recommend the course to others, a good introduction to Linux that gives you the skills to carry out basic admin tasks. The trainer was knowledgeable and approachable. The course pace was about right and it was pitched at the correct technical level. Overall a useful course.

I would recommend the course, good mix of theory and demo, backed up with helpful individual exercises. Course textbook good – useful resource for future reference.

A lot to take in on one day, but well paced and not rushed. Venue excellent. Good food. Administration good.

Very useful and informative session, lots learnt about the tricks and the benefits of Project. Very good course layout.

I would recommend this course as it enabled me to learn about areas of excel that I didn’t even know existed and improve any skills I currently had. The session was run in a very effective way, as it was comprised of watching demonstrations and then completing tasks and asking questions. I found the conditional formatting the most useful section of the course as it relates most to my area of work.

Excellent course and trainer. It gave a very good overview of excel and filled in the gaps in my knowledge. For me the exercises were the most useful part – I like to learn by doing (in my head this is learning through play). This was well balanced and I cannot suggest any improvements

Great next step after module one. Good energy and loads of info.

I would recommend it as I gained a new understanding of the INDEX and MATCH functions that I wasn’t able to grasp, beforehand. Susan was an effective trainer who allowed plenty of time for any questions to be asked and answered and provided sufficient help during the practical exercises.

Very informative and covers so much on a basic level. Helps with maths too. The practical exercises were helpful to put what we learnt into practice. Most useful was the graphs and formulas. Venue was perfect, lunch and beverages were excellent.

I would definitely recommend the course. With the knowledge the course gives, the user would be able to use Excel with greater efficiency. Excellent course.

Excellent course and trainer, I would recommend it, it was a very good introduction to PowerBI, with lots of clear examples. Our group had different levels of experience of PowerBI, and there was plenty of time for everyone to get to the end of each exercise before we moved on to the next topic. There was also a lot of opportunity for us to ask extra questions to explore issues that we have encountered when using PowerBI. The most useful part of the course was the chance to go through all the basic elements of PowerBI, some of which I was familiar with and some of which I wasn’t.

A clear, well thought out learning format. I really liked the way the Susan gave us a demonstration and then we put the knowledge to test on different exercises. It really helps underpin what we are learning. Having played around with Power BI it made me realise that I was using it well and has certainly taught me some of the anomalies with the software! Understanding the different ways of filtering and highlighting certain data has really helped.

I would recommend the course to others. I believe this as I think it is an excellent introduction to Power BI. Thought Susan was an excellent trainer, well spoken, clear and precise on it.

Improvements as mentioned above.
