IT Seminar Delegate Comments EXCEL This was the best IT training that I have attended. I think the seminar format is a cost effective way of delivering this course. I always enjoy learning from experts in their field. I really enjoyed the course and definitely picked up loads of very useful tips that I didn t know before attending. Tony s knowledge of the software is exceptional and he is a clear and entertaining presenter. This is a very good way of demonstrating the capabilities of the software and a great way of training where an individual already has some basic knowledge. It has saved me time and money. I have always been impressed by the courses Tony and Sue have organized. I think this change in format is very effective. Excellent course, Tony gave comprehensive presentation, with friendly style. The course notes and workbook very helpful in my learning. I can honestly say that this was the best course I have ever attended. I was a little worried that I would not understand parts of it but Tony was so clear and concise I was able to understand everything. I would not hesitate recommending your Company to anyone and I would most definitely attend another, given the chance! Really enjoyed it and already making a start on new features in Excel which I have never used before. It was very nice to be there to learn these new skills. Method of teaching was better than hands on training. Was not initially looking forward to a hands off seminar but it works very very well. Very good quality content. I wish I had completed this sooner. Thank you Tony! Another very useful and engaging session. I found the seminar highly engaging and interactive. I knew some of the content but did not know the shortcuts. The shortcuts will be really helpful. The tips on pivot tables was especially helpful. Great course, lots of very useful content. Hope to put it into practise soon. That was without doubt the most useful "training" I have ever been on. You made everything so easy to understand. I'm actually getting asked things about Excel in my office now...and I CAN TELL THEM THE RIGHT ANSWER!!! Thank you very much! Tony was an excellent teacher, engaged and engaging. The pace was exactly right and it was an enjoyable, fun way to learn. I really enjoyed it. It wasn t boring and was very easy to understand. Some simple things which will really make a difference to my daily work. Really extremely useful and very well presented. An obvious natural teacher which makes all the difference. Have already recommended the seminar to several people! I really enjoyed the seminar and wasn t expecting to! Tony made the learning real with his presentation style and made sure everyone was following the process. A very useful seminar; the right pace and content as far as I was concerned. It will certainly same me time and a degree of frustration in future - I also now understand that the sudden appearance of ##### in a cell does not mean the world has ended! It was an eye opener and I m already using what I ve learnt. Should save me plenty of time. I thought it was a brilliant format and far better than having to click buttons on keyboards at the pace of the slowest in the room. I really did think it was all excellent.

I picked up some really useful shortcuts which I had no idea were available, and learnt some new functions of Excel. A really useful seminar, which I will definitely be recommending to my colleagues. Thank you for a great seminar. The seminar was packed so full of useful information, I couldn't think of a way of making it any better. Thanks for the little tips that you have shown me. I have taken them back with me and they have made a huge difference to the way in which I use my spreadsheets. It was brilliant! Very well organised and presented. Tony was clear and precise and instructions were easy to follow with very useful shortcuts. I found this seminar very useful. The style and presentation of the seminar was excellent - much better than a hands on approach which can be slow and fragmented. I felt you were able to convey a lot of information in a short space of time. It was very useful to have all the information sent on afterwards so I did not feel I had to take copious notes and miss bits of the presentation while doing so. Tony was fantastic this is the first time I have seen someone make spreadsheets fun. I really enjoyed this and found it helpful. Was slightly concerned at first because it wasn t hand s on but it soon became apparent this was a very good way of covering a lot in a short time. Despite being an established user of Excel, as I hoped, this seminar revealed so many useful tips to speed things up, and also functionality that has already improved my efficiency - I put the teaching into practice the same evening, generating new Excel chart systems in a fraction of the time I would have required previously. I found the morning engaging and I picked some really useful tips, things that will be relevant and beneficial to my work straight away. I thought that the format was great and the length was right I was back in the office in time to do a full afternoon s work. I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar and learned a lot of very useful new ideas about Excel. I was very impressed with the level of preparation that Tony had put into the seminar and felt that he really understood what kinds of things we as pharmacists do with Excel data. It was presented in a very relaxed manner and Tony was a very engaging presenter. Had many, many ohhh yeah moments! Having been very sceptical about how the seminar was to be delivered I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Tony was fantastic and I came away feeling fired up to take on the challenges of Excel. I have already started to use some of the material from the seminar. I would have no hesitation in attending one of your seminars again. Thank you so much. Fantastic - excellent use of time, very effective. Can t wait to play with Excel again. I would really recommend Tony as a trainer. With hands-off training it is not easy to ensure the audience are engaged in the presentation when they are being talked to for a whole morning but Tony s pace, style and knowledge was excellent. I m really pleased I attended this seminar and it has left me more confident in my Excel use and without a doubt, has highlighted areas I can make efficiencies. Who doesn t want to save time! The Excel session was absolutely brilliant for learning more functions and shortcuts to those I already use. It engaged me and held my attention throughout with the format of examples which all related back to a humorous central story. The notes I have received this morning are a terrific aide memoir in addition to the notes I made during the course and very useful documents to have. Thank you for an enjoyable course. This was one of the best seminars I have attended. I learned so much about Excel this morning and it is greatly appreciated.

WORD Excellent! The best course I ve been on. Where have you been all my professional life? I just wish I had been on this 10 years ago. Many thanks Thank you for all the tips they will save me hours!!! I have learnt so many handy tips which will make using Word so much easier. I found the seminar very easy to follow, points were explained very well. Thank you so much. We were really impressed. Many thanks for an interesting and enlightening morning. Generally, attending training if I came away with 1 or 2 worthy tips to help me as an individual they are worth attending. I came away with far more than that. I realised how little I knew about Word before the course. I now feel much happy about my ability to use Word and about the different uses it will have to make my job easier. Thank you for a very enlightening, informative morning! I wish I had been on this course some years ago - it would have saved me so much time and angst. Good fast pace without feeling rushed. Points made by Sue then reiterated with practical demo - good way to reinforce message. Glad not to have to take notes - follow-up email good. I learnt so many new tricks/tips which will help me out a lot in my job and save me so much time. All the information was so useful I wish I d known this years ago. Excellent seminar used some of my new found knowledge today during work! Thank you. The seminar was brilliant! Sue presented it with such enthusiasm, as if she had just discovered all these amazing 'tips' herself which made US feel as though it was so very easy and even WE could do it! The atmosphere was very relaxed and no-one felt uncomfortable. I enjoyed it immensely and I m a complete technophobe! The course was excellent and really useful it excelled my expectations and the hints and shortcuts were really helpful! This was an excellent, informative and inspiring course. It was clearly and professionally presented. It was an excellent mornings learning. Thank you. I thought the seminar was excellent. I could have spent the whole day there! I would thoroughly recommend this training session to anyone who works with Word, however often. If you think you know Word well then still come along as I am sure you will find something new. I would say it is an essential event to save your self time and to make the best use of the application. A really excellent course extremely interesting, very well presented and a very professional tutor. I feel that I gained a great deal of knowledge by attending. I found this seminar really useful. I learnt so much and was amazed by some of the tricks and tips that I just didn't know were there Excellent seminar - I learnt a lot of new tips and tricks - it will benefit my role greatly! Quality was fabulous and I really learnt something that I am sure I will be using that will make my job that bit easier with all the short cuts skills I learnt on the course. Sue was very clear and every bit a professional on this knowledge. Thank you. I don t think there is anything I could say was lacking in this seminar that could improve it. Many thanks for the seminar Sue it was absolutely excellent and just what I wanted. Thought the course was excellent in its content, presentation and teaching. It was much more effective than a computer course where everyone is sat at a computer, with no presentation, and you have to wait for the person to come to you. Lots of very useful information given.

POWERPOINT What is there to improve? I felt the content and level perfectly fitted individual and group needs. I have attended many courses over the years and felt this one rates way, way up there. As Tony said, you had cut out all the time-wasting elements and delivered just what we needed. All I can say is keep up the excellent work and I look forward to attending more of your seminars! The duration of the session was just right as there was a lot to take in. Very useful with tips that will really help my work. Great training, I really learnt a lot from this session of which I didn t know before. Well presented in user friendly language. No jargon and no corner cutting. The course was clearly taught with candidate participation and questions for clarity welcomed. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to improve their Powerpoint skills. I found the seminar very useful and feel much happier with my usage of powerpoint as a consequence. Fantastic seminar, I now feel really confident about the presentation I have to give in July in order to gain my CSBM. Thank you. Very worthwhile attending; left full of enthusiasm for trying new things with PowerPoint! Tony was excellent. As a relative newcomer to PowerPoint the way the course was structured in that we worked through a presentation from beginning to end was extremely useful. I found the presentation to be interesting, clear and easy to follow. A very good idea to present as a seminar, rather than using computers, where I find you concentrate on what you are doing, rather than taking in the information being given. Although I do prepare PowerPoint presentations, I am self-taught, and so have not learnt all that PowerPoint can do. I really enjoyed this seminar, very informative and made me aware of things that I didn t know could be done in PowerPoint. Thank you for an excellent PointPoint seminar. I found the presentation extremely informative and interesting from start to finish, and the pace was perfect for me to absorb all the information. I never realised you could do so much with PowerPoint and it was great to see the end product come together. I will definitely recommend your seminar to my friends and colleagues. I was really pleasantly surprised by the nature of the seminar, with the course being presented rather than hands on I was at first a bit dubious, but I can honestly say that this way worked very well for me. This was the most useful course I have been to in a long time. Very well presented, covered everything I wanted to know and more. It was brilliant! Honestly I could have stayed all day. It was so helpful and informative. A useful training session which gave me enough to get started with what I now need to do and use PowerPoint for. Tony was a friendly tutor who took the time to ensure all who attended understood the content I felt that Tony was extremely well versed, approachable and well prepared. He was also prepared to help with individual problems. A totally enjoyable course that gave me options that I didn't know were available and I have now been able to raise my presentations to a new level.

ACCESS Sue s instructions were very clear and simple. Information was made very easy to understand. This training will make a huge difference to how I collect and use data in the future. What can I say? Excellent seminar, excellent presenter, the content gave me a different viewpoint on what I have already learned and made me want to learn more. Thanks Sue! I really enjoyed the seminar. The information was precise and delivered in a logical, easy to understand way. After attempting to use Access via books and struggling to understand the concept of it, the seminar made Access seem simple! Wonderful delivery and would highly recommend to other people. Thank you for taking the mystery out of Access! The seminar was very informative and well presented. By walking us through the processes on the large projector it was clear to see how to achieve objectives. I really enjoyed it and felt very welcomed - thank you. An excellent and very enjoyable event. I went away inspired to improve my databases. Very helpful, I feel I can confidently get started with Access now even having never used it before. Sue was very friendly and helpful and made the seminars feel really friendly. I feel that I can approach her and ask questions during or after the seminar. This course was extremely well presented. It was at a pace that I felt suited everybody needs that attended. I came away feeling positive and confident that I could create a database using Access, which is brilliant. Thanks for yesterday, it was a most informative day. You have filled me with enthusiasm to really develop my database. Can t fault it.. looking forward to the next level. Thank you very much Sue, a very well presented and informative session. Sue was great and really knew the subject. I found the whole day very useful. The content matched the course description exactly. The tutor clearly knows her subject extremely well and was keen to share her knowledge. She kept the group on track and on time very professionally. It was very professional and well-delivered. I feel that it was well-worth the time. I was extremely impressed with the seminar. I found the information was presented in a clear way that maintained my interest level. I feel the course provided me with practical pointers that will allow me to improve the day-today running of our processes. Perhaps the biggest compliment I can pay the course is that I will now very much look forward to implementing what I have learnt and designing new Access databases. Excellent in all aspects. Sue was great in answering our questions. Two great courses on Access thought before that my knowledge was pretty good but this taught me so much and built confidence in areas less so. Liked the style of delivery rather than all PC based. Excellent training with some very useful tips and shortcuts. Felt very confident after the course that I could use Access. This was a great seminar to attend and a great way to deliver the course. I feel very confident with what I had learnt. The notes issued are also a great reference. Sue was very friendly and helpful.
