“Thank you for a very informative and interesting course. I learnt a lot and now realise that what I thought I knew only just scratchs the surface of excel’s potential!” Caroline Brennan, Financial Accountant, Prime Medica “It was by far the best course I have ever attended. I learnt a large number of useful tips which have helped to save me time back at the office. Stuart delivered the course in an effective manner and it was clear that he is very knowledgeable of the subject. Stuart has also helped me with a query since the course which goes beyond what I would have expected.” |
