Attendee Comments

About the Comments

A measure of the success of a course comes from the feedback given by those who attend it. Underpinning most of our courses is a highly practical experience which not only secures the new learning but serves to make the experience worthwhile, stimulating and enjoyable for everyone. Below is a small selection of comments taken from a cross section of completed evaluation forms for all courses (all available for viewing). Please read through the comments. They provide a valuable insight into the teaching methods:

'Good introduction to the subjects (and some more besides), without death by PowerPoint.'

Engineer
Ultra Electronics Datel
(Preston)

'Very appropiate. The skills I have learnt over the last 3 days will go a long way to helping me with the report writing side of my role.'

Product Specialist
Innogistic
(Bristol)

'Very good overall and good value for money. Met my expectations and objectives.'

Business Analyst
J P Morgan
(Bournemouth)

'It's definitely one of the best courses I've attended. The notes and examples were very easy to understand and apply.'

Senior Campaign Analyst
SAGE Publications
(London)

'Very good at getting us all up to the same stage/level and nice to go to advanced levels.'

Data Analyst
MOD
(Bath)

'Made us work out the answers ourselves (a good thing!). Great way of teaching.'

Technical Support
DigiCore
(Harrow)

'Good approach. Short introduction at the start of the first day was the correct length. Running the course as a tutorial was the correct way to do it, and for me the best way to learn.'

Application Developer
Atos Origin
(London)

'A well organised course with the right mixture of examples and projects. The projects were useful to cement knowledge that may not have been remembered otherwise.'

Technical Assistant
Gill Jennings and Every LLP
(London)

'This was an excellent course which I will happily recommend to anyone else. Thank you.'

Adelphi Services Manager
Home Office
(London)

'Very well thought out, liked the idea that you take the interactive notes examples away with you at end.'

Compliance Tester
Sage UK
(Manchester)

'Good pace. Covered wide range of areas - surprising as only for two days - very good.'

Test Analyst
Portman Building Society
(Bournemouth)

'Very good. Instructor was knowledgable on the subject matter and had plenty of course material.'

Implementation Consultant
Northgate Public Services
(Nottingham)

'Pace was pretty much governed by ourselves and I felt both as an individual and as part of the group we progressed at a decent speed.'

IT Development Manager
Manor Church of England School
(York)

'Information was laid out clearly and succinctly. Important points were emphasised. Where problems occurred these were returned to until understood.'

Data Quality Analyst

'Same as before, the course was fantastic. Challenging, interesting and gratifying. Merci.'

Web Content Editor
The Law Society
(Leamington Spa)

'It was well designed and I feel I have learned a lot. I would recommend the course and trainer for future use.'

Analyst Team Leader
Care Quality Commission
(London)

'It's really good to have all the notes and examples to take away because we covered a lot of ground and it would be hard to remember it all without extensive notes. I really liked working through the course on individual laptops. Being able to do exercises all the time is much better than sitting through a lot of PowerPoints!'

Project Officer
Centre for Sustainable Energy
(Bristol)

'Good presentation style and people who could plough ahead were able to get on with it.'

Data Analyst

'Just right for me - not so slow as I was kept waiting for things to do, but not so fast as I couldn't keep up.'

Net Developer
gocompare.com
(Gwent)

'There was enough time to practice each element of the course and to ask questions.'

Business Analyst

'Kept people busy with further tasks if others in the group needed time to catch up.'

Analyst
Care Quality Commission
(London)

'Very well, I enjoyed the way you presented, I'm glad you didn't do a lecture for 3 days as I wouldn't have enjoyed it and it would have got very dull to listen to. You made it interesting and were very good at spotting who needed help and also gave the right amount of direction when stuck.'
