The IT Training Surgery Reviews

I did learn some very useful things but felt the format was far too time consuming. I would have liked what I learnt, such as repeat headers, Table of Contents, to be in a manual so that I can read that next time I want to use them.

Excellent content, have learnt and used new skills.

I found the course extremely informative. Mike was fantastic at explaining the concepts and taking us through step by step. I've come away with useful skills that will make my day to day work easier and more efficient.

Unfortunately the course didn't seem long enough to fit in all of the topic areas. Traditionally, the course would have lasted a day, and three hours seemed very crammed. It would have been more beneficial to have an explanation and then be given time to do a worked example, however, in three hours this would have been impossible. I've not yet received the course material which is why I've only voted two stars. Nonetheless, a really great course which has helped no end with my Excel knowledge!

GREAT! X

great teacher with great communication! helped deepen my knowledge and get a greater understanding.

Was alright. More time and exercise needed.

Training really good but too short.

Mike is clearly an expert using Excel and his demonstrations were clear and helpful. Mike mentioned that the session that we attended was meant to be at minimum a full day and a half if not longer and that we would have to rush through it to keep to schedule. The session we had was only scheduled for a morning - as someone who was arriving with a limited knowledge and eager to learn, I felt that we rushed through the day. Time for assistance, questions, general discussion or ways these examples could be applied to our roles in the company a longer session would have definately afforded me sufficient time to get to grips with the programme. I would have also liked to have seen some supporting documents provided on the day with information on the different elements and functions to work with during the session and then review after. Due to the pace of the session there was not sufficient time to take notes so upon leaving much of what I have learnt today has left my head! I would definately recommend Mike and this course again - HOWEVER this would only be on the basis that this course is held as at least a full days training. I would ideally follow with a refresher the next day and/or at least some form of a test that can be given during the course once the lesson is finished to measure how well the information has been received by the participants.

Shelley is a wonderful trainer, very patient!
