Not sure if we deserve all the reviews you can see on this site? Here are some of the things we do (very) differently to earn them.
How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:
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:
Our values are simple - we treat people as we would like to be treated ourselves. So:

We've put a lot of thought into making our online courses as useful and interactive as possbile:

If you can't see the course you want listed above, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.
Here are some comments we've received about our Power Platform + training. You can see all of our 528 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"Course content was intense and enjoyable. Lunch venues a great choice and an opportunity to walk outside. So great to be back face to face learning. The trainer has a pleasant and patient manner and adapted his presentation (made larger on screen) to my needs."
Sue Cann
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The trainer was very friendly and passionate which made it seem ok to just throw question after question at him. If he didn't know an answer he had a play/researched to find the answers and tailored every section to make them relatable to what we were doing and to questions/issues we were raising. A colleague did the same course a couple of years ago with the same trainer, the reviews from the original colleague were very good and I can see why - will definitely be recommending this to other depts."
Tom Hawthorn
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"The course was fantastic as was our trainer, who made it interesting and easy to follow. The range of topics we covered was extensive and we were even able to ask for help around our own PBI issues. Couldn't recommend the course enough! We chose the course as it offered a wide range of topics from visualizations to DAX, which was great for us as a team with varied PBI experience."
Samuel Meadows
Adidas UK
"The trainer was lovely and personable as always, he was really willing to go the extra mile to ensure that the course was tailored to us and our specific experiences and organisations. He was also very patient with any technical issues. The course itself was great. I had no knowledge of Power BI whatsoever, but it's used a lot in my department. Looking forward to convincing the powers that be to let me on a more advanced course!!"
Hannah Bateman
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I found the course very useful and it taught me lots of things I didn't realise Power BI was capable of. I felt like I understood everything that was taught. A great trainer, very friendly and funny and able to answer all of the questions that we threw at him! I had used Power and this course was useful in making me aware of all of the different parts of Power BI, and the options that are available."
Thomas Morley
Department for Education
"The trainer was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Really enjoyed the course."
Lloyd Skinner
