Making Microsoft Office WORK for YOU

“Colin is an amazing trainer, and that is why I came directly to you for more training, this time for a large team of Credit Controllers.

Colin is able to help to define the most suitable and effective training, we didn’t want standard training packages, we wanted to use data that was recognisable to the team as theirs

Colin totally understood their role and challenges and made the training fun, with his amazing sense of humour, he explained how it worked, made sure everyone was with him and lifted their excel skills to a new level: “I really enjoyed that”, “Training was amazing”, “I loved Colin’s way of explaining, it made it easy”, “I never knew it could do that”, “I was learning from the first minute of the course”, “I learned a way of doing it a lot quicker than I usually do it”, all comments from the team. 

My thanks to you Colin, again, for your knowledge, your flexibility and willingness to create a training program that was bespoke, fun and achieving our aim of upskilling the team, and coaxing their interest in the power of excel – Success!”

Kath Fisher, Head of Accouts Receivable

“He is brilliant in what he does. I had no idea how to create a Word Fillable Form which was my clients document request. So Colin……

• acknowledged I didn’t have a clue in a lovely way ‘well you’ve designed the document in word which is good start’ we can work together to make that document fillable and protected as per your clients request.
• gave me options of how the form could look professionally to accommodate my brand and the standard of other documents produced for this Sales Programme.
• asked me to demonstrate how to create the fillable form from scratched by asking learning questions to teach him how to do it, without me even knowing it “Sue, why are you doing that? What do you need to do to protect”. Great technique of shared knowledge by a Trainer and to establish that the learner understands what they are doing and why.
• coached me in having the confidence to send the draft form to my client by validating my form as the client would. The client loved it – “best professional form they had seen in Word, great to have the drop down list – hadn’t thought of that”.

I am so grateful for Colin’s help as a fellow member of the Trainer Talk community.

  

No hesitation to recommend Colin.”

“I have just had a brilliant half-hour with Colin, helping me discover an easy way to fix a little something I do a lot – his help will save me many mouse clicks and minutes every day. Time is money as they say, or in my case, time is golf.
His enthusiasm for Excel is infectious and training style fun – I have no hesitation in recommending Colin for all things Microsoft. Just wondering how many other things he can fix for me!”

Jo Taylor, Office Manager

“Colin introduced me to Pivot Tables and saved me countless business hours.”

Peter Knight, Managing Director

“Colin provided an absolutely excellent and well-organised Intermediate Excel training course, which has helped me immensely in the day-to-day management and administration of my role. The course was thoroughly explained in a clear and understandable manner, and I felt at ease to ask questions throughout the day.  Colin has also been on hand since the course, answering further questions very promptly and saving me hours of time. Whenever he provides help, he also gives a broken-down explanation of the formula, which has been very useful. Colin was very approachable and personable, both during and after the course. Thank you!”

Felicity Grimes, School Visits Fund Administrator

“Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the Excel and Outlook training. We have had numerous training sessions on various subjects over the lockdown but yours was by far the top of the pile. Your ability to get things across and your style of teaching was first class and everyone from our company on your course agrees that it was time very well spent!”
