Testimonials

“I think it was a precise and practical session, with the actual system being shown and walked through clearly. The trainer was really easy to follow and the session had a clear structure, covering all the basics. Getting a walkthrough of what everything does was really helpful. It allowed everyone to participate easily from where they were.”

Siobhan Nevin – HR Manager, Align

“I really enjoy the way Susan trains - she caters for all levels in one session, is informative and very helpful with resources. I always feel so much more confident after a training session with Susan, which is exactly how it should be. The virtual format was essential in the current climate and a quick, simple way to brush up or learn new skills.”

Lisa Carroll – Business Systems Analyst, Brian Johnston Insurance Brokers Ltd

“Yes, it’s an excellent introduction to Microsoft Teams. It provided a clear and concise overview of a powerful tool that many of us only use on the surface. I picked up several features I hadn’t seen before, like how meeting notes and details are automatically collated. A really effective and time-efficient way to bring learning to life.”

Simon Sheeran – Head of IT Operations, Civil Aviation Authority
