I enjoyed the session and learned so much about Excel that I had either forgotten or never knew.

The course content was excellent. It would have been useful to have a handout or workbook at the end of the course for practice purposes and consolidating the learning when you return to your own desk.

Response: Hi Alison - I will email a copy of the course workbook to Marie now. We do have this, but we have found it best to send it by pdf as it is quite a large document and not every page is required! Hope this helps :)

I think this is a good starter course for people who have had little negotiating experience and are looking to increase confidence. I think maybe I should have done the next one up and spent more than one day as there is only so much you can do in a short time. If we had not have managed to get more delegates than the original 2 then I think it would have been much less effective. I think the course should not be run with less that 4 delegates. It is the experience of others and the opportunity to negotiate with a variety of people which makes it most effective.

Response: Thanks for that feedback, Katherine, and yes, we take on board your point about the numbers involved. The trainer passed back a similar comment. If you would like to consider a more advanced course, we do offer a two day Advanced Influencing Skills course. Would be happy to send you through more details about that. Thanks for the feedback.

I possibly would have liked more information on using pivot tables.

Response: Hi Fergus, We tend to cover pivot tables in our Advanced Excel course. Would you like us to send you details of when we have the next course running? I can also send you the course outline for Advanced to see if it is something you would like to do. Regards...Laura

It course was well organised and planned and ran very smoothly.
