Andy was very engaging and extremely patient - thanks!

Technical Manager - Knitwear, Burberry

Andy was really good and clear. His knowledge of Analytics was really impressive. Really well presented and did some extras which were really useful to us.

Digital Marketing Executive, Mishcon de Reya

I did the online course and thought it was brilliant. No need to travel anywhere :)

Marketing Manager, Aurora

I took part in the online training, which I was little apprehensive about. However, it was really clear and simple to follow and i don't feel i missed anything different to if i was in the classroom.

Learning and Development Advisor, House of Fraser

Fantastic! Genuinely the most knowledgeable instructor I have ever had for a course. Kept the course interesting, patient and all materials well prepared. Excellent.

Project Manager, Leicestershire Police

I'm not usually one to score "10's" but to score lower would suggest that things can be improved upon - I'm not sure that they can.

Intranet Manager, HM Passport Office

The instructor was brilliant, very knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming and friendly! I was recommended this course by a colleague and can understand why! It wasn't overwhelming and was very easy to digest.

Marketing and PR Executive, Serco

The instructor was great - very informative and clearly knows his stuff. He showed me how to do things that weren't part of the course and checked I understood everything as we went along. I've learnt so much in two days!

Internal Communications, Network Rail

The instructor was very friendly and approachable, he answered questions in a manner in which I found it easy to understand. It gave a great introduction to a piece of software that I have never used before and now I feel I can give a good go at documents using the software.

Brand Marketing Assistant, Virgin Care

Great course! really good information, learned a lot. Pace was good and not too overwhelming. The instructor was really helpful and explained things well so it was easy to understand and use the software.

Digital Print Supervisor, Shepherd Construction Ltd

Very friendly and patient with all our questions! He knew what he was talking about and explained things in a simple way we could understand. Was very good at linking things together to back up points and expand our knowledge.

Marketing Executive, Kelly Services

He was very knowledgeable and ensured everyone was able to keep up. He encouraged question and gave us ample time to play around with what we were learning.

Technical Administrator, Peter Brett Associates

Really liked the informal style, session was really well structured and well divided up. Open forum for questions was great and good to have a practice of each step directly after we'd spoken about it. Great that it was so hands on with only a few presentation slides as gave me the opportunity to try things out rather than just see them in theory. Really approachable and level was just right!

Communications Officer, National Trust

The instructor was fantastic - knowledgeable, patient, approachable...brilliant

Head of Marketing, The Lords Taveners

Very easy to understand - very knowledgeable - explained things properly, and understood when you didn't understand something the first time it was explained.

Planning & Control Analyst, Lloyds Banking Group

Excellent. Really helpful and a very good teacher. Worked at a really good pace and has excellent knowledge.

Marketing Officer, Help the Hospices

The instructor has been very knowledgeable and I have really enjoyed his method of teaching, he was highly supportive and has taken the time to ensure we all were as comfortable as possible at the end of day 2.

Brand Manager, Durapipe UK

Covered all questions & ensured topics covered were relevant to peoples needs.

Internal Communications Manager, Caffe Nero

The center was friendly, comfortable - a good space to learn in. The instructor was helpful and supportive - answering questions directly without going around the bend on answers.
