Really enjoyed the course and had time to ask specifics that will help with the tasks we need to undertake. Great course very useful, excellent day and well delivered.
Fantastic course very knowledgeable trainer, very well presented and tailored to our specific requirements and working environment – thanks!
I have been on many courses and I have to say I have never been on a course like the one today. It was informative and hands on and I learnt a great deal. Your offices are in a perfect location, well kept and the course content far exceeded my expectations.
The training was very well received yesterday and Daniel did a great job. The participants are going to use what they have learnt over the next month and then we hope to go on to Intermediate level. Would we be able to request that its Daniel that returns as everyone felt he was very easy to understand and taught it well?
The course was great. Could you please pass on our thanks to Stuart who is a brilliant trainer and very entertaining! We are all hoping to attend the next level, thanks again.
For myself I found it really good. The course was taken at a reasonable pace but each module was thoroughly explained with an exercise at the end to put the learning into context. As a basic user of excel I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and would recommend it.
Course was very useful. The general content was very useful and there was time left to address specific applications for our needs as a group and individuals.
I just wanted to thank you for yesterday, the course was excellent and really helped me. It covered everything I wanted to know and I've been singing your praises all morning! Once again thanks
Thank you so much for the training – it was excellent - you put the information over very well, and just at the correct pace. I’m laughing at the poor state of the docs I did, but they’ll be very useful reminders of everything. The handout on Shortcut Keys is what I’ve been waiting years for and the course notes will be a great help.
I enjoyed meeting yourself and Alison and found the course really interesting, I also enjoyed your training style which suited me down the ground. If I get stuck I’ll send out a ‘help mail’.
Please could you pass on my compliments to Terry, who delivered the course today, as he did so with confidence and humour! He was very helpful and seems like a great personality to have on your team! I very much look forward to attending the other courses that have been booked via yourselves.
