Course Reviews
This was a very useful and interesting course. The course was done at a good pace allowing plenty of workshop practice along the way.
Paul - Analyst - Insurance - October 2022
Very useful course, I think I've probably encountered a lot of what was covered in the past but a lack of formal training meant gaps both in detail and in the theory. This course seems to have covered the gaps nicely thanks. Very interesting as well.
David - Programmer/Analyst - Academic - August 2022
Many thanks. I found the training very useful and it was delivered very well. John explained the content thoroughly and clearly.

This was a very positive learning experience for me. Kevin reacted to the ability / requirements of the learners and made the content interesting. He encouraged everyone to participate in the discussions and this really helped bring the subject to life. As a result, I have exceeded my own expectations and I'm now looking forward to putting the learning into action in the office.
