See what our customers say

“I've just come back from my two days training in Stockport and I'd have to say I thought the trainer was really good!! He really knew his stuff, was easy to get along with and didn't simply read from the book like a robot. I've been on courses before where they do that and it leaves you thinking ‘what am I paying for.’ I think I was the only person that had used Powerproject, but I came away with a greater knowledge of what it can do.”

Jamie May, Senior Planning Engineer, Linacre-Peak Ltd

“The trainer was friendly and approachable and kept the training interesting.”

Ben Cunninham, Robinson Low Francis

“Very informative and effective course. Provides sufficient knowledge to use Powerproject immediately.”

Craig Bolding, Senior Surveyor, Osborne

“Excellent course. Best format for software training I have attended.”

Kevin Bassam, Project Manager, Volker Fitzpatrick

“The excellent standard of on site training they provide continues to allow our users to utilise the full potential of this extremely powerful and effective management tool.”

Mick Moorhouse, Director, Hargreaves Contracting

“The course was well received by all who attended and covered exactly the information that was required.”

David Johnson, Planning Manager, Kier Marriott

“I found the course on Satisfying NEC contract requirements using Powerproject highly relevant and user-friendly. The content is comprehensive without being over complicated.”

Paul Curme, Planning Manager, Kier London Ltd

“Very well organised course within an engaging environment that developed my understanding of the practical implementations of Powerproject BIM.”

Aldwyn Payne, Project Planner, Brookfield Multiplex
