Happy Reviews

The course was very informative. I liked the group involvement as this really got you thinking about things and listening to other colleagues experiences and queries.

It was a good course to do, I did the European Computer Driving Licence about 8 years ago which gave me the very basics of Excel, so this was nice to improve my skills and learn about some extra functionality.

It was really informative and gave everyone a good overview of the aspects of excel we covered, sparking everyone's imagination with ways to incorporate into our daily schedule. I think I should have given Serena more information about how we work and what we plan to do because I think people would have gained some benefit from seeing connections to MySQL rather than just other spreadsheets. But Serena did cover connecting to folders during lunch and I think everyone got it. So great job!

its was amazing session because women feeling well and think about women empowerment.

This finance session was better as we got more stuck in to the detail. Some of it was still a bit slow for me

I missed the first finance workshop so I can't compare the two, but I felt the first half was a bit too granular (eg, the finance coding), but loved going through the balance sheets (financial reporting and management accounts). I know Amsel tried to avoid it, but I would have like him to talk through the financial accounts line by line and highlight the areas that we should focus on. Just a general comment, and I do understand that the bulk of people on the course, and indeed all Happy courses, come from the not-for-profit sector, but I feel there's a lack of focus on the commercial sector and the challenges that we have.

A challenging session today with lots of new information. As always though, thought provoking and informative and a great group of supportive peers

Henry's metrics section and the Beyond Budgeting exercise were good. The other bits were a bit slow. I felt they were explained in too much detail and the explanations were often repeated using different words.

I like the course. lt covers so many topics with quite good learning pace. The skill I learnt definitely benefits me from now and future.

Good course that id recommend to colleagues- personally a bit more information or a bit shorter for what was covered. Pace was a bit slow but that was more to do with the calibre of LBS staff not the trainer!
