Friendly and professional training ... guaranteeed▼
How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:
We limit our courses to no more than 6 people per class.
Unlike almost every other computer training company, we never subcontract or use freelancers - here's why this matters.
The best courseware in the industry? See for yourself▼
Our course manuals and exercises are by some way the best in the computer training industry. Fortunately you don't have to take our word for this - you can see for yourself:
It's dangerous to be sanctimionius, but we can see no possible benefit that tobacco and gambling companies bring to the world (and quite a lot of harm), so we choose not to work for them. Sorry.
We've put a lot of thought into making our online courses as useful and interactive as possbile:
Delegates use Remote Desktop to connect to our machines, so our trainers can see everyone's screens at all time.
We arrange (without charge) a half-hour pre-course check for each online delegate before courses, to ensure that they everyone will be able to join the course seamlessly when it begins.
As well as providing a PDF of the manual and exercises for each online course delegate we will (again without charge) also post this out to each person a few days before if required.

"The course was exceptionally well-delivered, and as a group, we thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. Our trainer was very personable and approachable and his deep knowledge of DAX and Power BI made the content much easier to grasp. We particularly appreciated how he tailored the course to our needs, addressed the examples we provided, and kept the session interactive to reinforce the concepts. The pacing was for us as a group was spot-on, allowing ample time for questions and hands-on practice... and a cuppa ;) Overall, we would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to enhance their Power BI and DAX skills. The trainer was brilliant - his expertise, clear communication, and engaging teaching style made all the difference in making our course both informative and enjoyable. We have undertaken previous courses with yourselves which were similarly well-received by colleagues."
