“I found the course excellent and it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely consider web training again and will look into further courses in the near future.”

Matthew Dolan, Construction Planner, Cairn Homes

“I thought the course went very well. Very easy to join and use the control panel interface. Good course structure with plenty of time to cover all the topics and exercises.”

Thomas Smith, Vantage Three

“This was my first web-based training and I really enjoyed it. The course fully met my expectations, the pace was just right, no issues with web connectivity and the manual looks great! Lucy was brilliant - there were plenty of opportunities to interact, questions were always answered and help given (not easy I would imagine when you cannot see the person who is asking screen) and everything was explained very well!”

Nicola Bryce, North Lanarkshire Council

“A fantastic trainer who was patient and explained everything very clearly. Course was delivered over the internet at a manageable pace and was full of helpful things I can use in my new job.”

Zoe Young, Vertec Roofing & Cladding
