“The course was not rushed at all and felt this had gained me extra knowledge.”
Excellent course and trainer. Great course. This is all down to the trainer. The trainer was helpful and informative and broke the course up brilliantly. No improvements needed in my mind.
Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend the course, easy to follow, clear explanations on how to use excel, excellent trainer delivery, followed by recap exercises to check learning. Clear, easy to follow, information delivered, handy book to refer to, recap exercises to put what you have been trained into practice. Susan was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and made the subject interesting. The recap exercises and the handy sized book. Susan did a recap activity after lunch setting us different tasks to ensure that the mornings information had gone in. The best learning technology course I have ever attended.
Excellent course and trainer. Really interesting- learnt so much and Susan was clear in her approach making tasks really fun. Fun and interesting session, learnt loads, all content was relevant and helpful. No improvements I can think of. Loved the book to take away with all the content from the day and the offer of 6 month email support after the course is great.
Excellent course and trainer. Excellent. Learned a lot. Very useful. Perfect timing. All covered aspects were useful. The trainer was very knowledgeable. What I found most useful were the practice and tips. No need to change anything,

Easy and comfortable environment to learn the basic skills on Excel and Susan made it really easy. The session was very well structured. Susan had great knowledge and was able to offer help on the topics which were not in the learning objectives.
Yes I would recommend the course. Really clear instruction. Helped me to understand excel in a clear and easy way. The shortcuts were fab!! Susan presented all the aspects of Excel in a really clear way. She was always on hand to help out if I was stuck or confused. The most useful was definitely the short cuts, these will be invaluable. Also, how the formulas work, which have really confused me before. Once I have grasped the basics of Excel, I would like to go on the Module 2 course. The venue was amazing. such a beautiful building. Lovely buffet, tea making facilities. Administration was clear and informative
Excellent course and trainer. I would absolutely recommend it, Susan was fantastic, checking if we understood everything. I felt happy to be there
I would definitely recommend the course. With the knowledge the course gives, the user would be able to use Excel with greater efficiency. Excellent course.
Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend it. Very informative and covers so much on a basic level. Helps with maths too. The practical exercises were helpful to put what we learnt into practice. Most useful was the graphs and formulas. Venue was perfect, lunch and beverages were excellent.
Yes, I found Susan a very good trainer and delivered the course very well. Susan is very knowledge and delivered the course at the right pace.Susan made the attendees feel at ease, so it was useful being in a group at the same level as learnt also from questions raised and Susan made the course fully inclusive. The Beehive is an excellent venue, good facilities and to my knowledge the course administration/booking all went smoothly.
Excellent course and trainer. I would recommend the course, Susan is an exceptional trainer who is able to support all levels of knowledge and confidence in the same session.
I have already recommended the course to a few of my colleagues as I think that its a good refresher/ base to start from if your a bit rusty on Excel and want to brush up on the basics. Susan was really good at demonstrating and then helping you to work at out challenges given, instead of showing you how it was done – I found this really helpful. A really good interactive session with a small class of four and felt this gave every learner in the room the opportunity to get one to one time with Susan which I find important when being given training. I liked that the class was given an example of what the next exercise was going to be based on before opening a work booklet to get given a similar problem to work on, I really liked this as it wasn’t just copying off the board.
I would definitely recommend the course. The information was in bite size chunks enabling us to digest and practice before moving onto the next task. This is a great way to ease into excel without being overloaded with too much to remember. Venue was great! Easy to get to and park, good facilities and has some great history at the Beehive.
Susan made the course really easy to follow and informative but also created a really relaxed atmosphere. Susan is a great trainer and made the course and content enjoyable.
I would recommend this as I was lucky enough to have a class of four people including myself, that meant the session was more intense and Susan had time to spend with each of us. I liked the way we were shown an example and then given a similar exercise to practice and work out for ourselves – I found this better than copying somebody as it made you work it out for yourself. Susan was lovely and very patient and helpful. The building and facilities were pleasant. Reception were helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and gained a lot of relevant knowledge. The course was correctly paced and the trainer was very engaging.
Excellent course and trainer. Yes, I would recommend it, the small insights to how the programme can work were brilliant. The trainer explained things brilliantly, very clear and concise. The knowledge of the trainer was second to none. Venue was very good.
I would recommend the course, it was clear how much time / working hours can be saved jut by learning some quick formulae and methods. It was very clearly delivered and well paced with opportunities to practice and ask questions. It was very useful for analysing numeric data.
Excellent course and trainer. Yes I would recommend it. The course was delivered at a good pace and the venue was perfect. Excellent trainer. Very helpful and patient. Very much liked her teaching style. Demonstration and practical learning works well for me. One of the best trainers I have come across. Thanks Susan.
A great insight into Excel, Susan was very knowledgable and enthusiastic she really knows her stuff and even when challenged with an idea that she wasn’t familiar with she researched and found a way very impressed. This was an excellent course and very enjoyable. No improvements what so ever very very happy with everything, The venue is very welcoming and the facilities are second to none, Lunch was a nice touch too.
I would recommend the course, a good insight into Excel. I found everything about the course useful. Excellent venue and administration.
I would definitely recommend the course. To those who have very limited computer knowledge this course really helps you build confidence working with spreadsheets and formulas which you could use at work or even at home. The session was well thought out and run at a good pace with Susan explaining the different functions of. Excel. The Hand out work practice sheets was also a good way of learning on your own, if you did have any issues Susan was there to give you one to one coaching. The most useful part for me was just gaining more confidence working with the Excel programme which I am now going to take home and practice making my own spreadsheet for daily tasks. From a work point of view I can now use these recent skills to go for any future promotion. The Venue was first class and catered for all are needs refreshments, cleanliness, free parking etc.
Excellent course and trainer, I would recommend this to anyone with any experience of Excel can benefit from this course especially as it’s facilitated so well by Susan. Session is structured perfectly to include key subject areas. It was all useful even having used excel for a number of years!
An excellent course and trainer. I would definitely recommend it – a good refresher and a chance to properly learn anything that was self taught and changes made since attending a course. It was at the right pace and a good refresher. What I found most useful was learning how the spreadsheet can calculate data.
