Recent feedback from learners and organisations who have booked Excel-related training with Computer Tutoring.
"Simon was a fantastic training facilitator and made the session fun and easy to engage with. When one of my colleagues was concerned about how the skills learnt would transfer to her role, Simon took the time to design an activity (on the spot) that would apply to her and her role. Thank you for the brilliant session Simon - we can't wait to put our new skills to the test!"
" I found the training excellent, I thought Simon's knowledge was great and he helped with some slightly off topic excel queries - I learnt so much from this workshop! I have undertaken this course before and the learning did not stick, but Simon's story telling and contextulisation has made it much more memorable."
"Fantastic really informative and interesting" "Excellent very enjoyable really good presenter"
