Course Reviews

Found Stayahead training great in past .. but this course sets the level higher. Great trainer, very engaging and went above and beyond the course remit. Packed a lot of material in. Presented in ways beyond the course materials, active coding examples and some great extra materials. Covered the content in an intelligent way, timing great, allowing concentration on applicable bits. Trainer has a great depth of working knowledge of the subject at finger tips. Awesome.

Really enjoyed the course. It was a great introduction to JavaScript! The exercises were great but it would have been nice to get more time to complete more exercises during the course. Thank you Alan :)

Reece - Graduate Software Engineer - Leisure - February 2023

Stuart's teaching methods are excellent. The classes were very clear and concise. He gave very clear practical information, and it was a perfect start for JavaScript. In just three days, I have learned many things to increase my knowledge and reflect them on my daily tasks.
